Question 421372: Two buses leave a station at the same time and travel in opposite directions. One bus travels 10km/h slower than the other. If the two buses are 1200km apart after 6 hours, what is the rate of each bus? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! first bus x
second bus x-10
..
They are going away from each other.
So add up their speed.
combined speed = x+x-10= 2x-10
Time = 6 hours
Distance = speed * time
(2x-10)6=1200
12x-60=1200
12x=1200+60
12x=1260
/12
x= 105
the second bus speed = 105 -10 = 95 mph
