Question 726570: Two trains leave Anchorage at the same time along parallel track heading in opposite directions. The faster train travels 10 mph faster than the slower train. Find the speed of each train if the trains are 270 miles apart after 3 hours. Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! r*t=d
r*3+(r+10)*3=270
divide by 3
2r+10=90
2r=80
r=40
r+10=50
check
3*40+3+50=270
120+150=270
270=270
ok
