Question 795819: Two trains heading toward each other are 400 miles apart. One train travels 15 miles per hour faster than the other train. If they arrive at the same station in 5 hours, how fast is each train traveling? Answer by rfer(16322) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5x+5(x+15)=400
10x+75=400

x=325/10
x=32.5 mph
x+15=47.5 mph
----------------
(47.5+32.5)(5)=400
