Question 819893: Two trains leave at the same time, one traveling east and the other traveling west. At the end of 2 hours they are 136 miles apart. If the rate of the train traveling east is 16 miles per hour faster than the rate of the other train, find their rates. Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! relative speed of the trains:
s = w + e
e = w + 16
s = w + (w + 16)
s = 2w + 16
---
s = d / t
2w + 16 = 136/2
2w = 52
---
w = 26 mph
e = 42 mph
