Question 924734: [Two buses leave a station at the same time and travel in opposite directions. One bus travels 10 kph faster than the other. If the two buses are 532 km apart after 2 hours, what is the rate of each bus? ] Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = speed of bus a
y = speed of bus b
---
combined speed of buses = x + y
---
x = y + 10
---
s = d/t
x + y = 532/2
x + y = 266
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x = y + 10
x + y = 266
---
x - y = 10
x + y = 266
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

solution:
x = speed of bus a = 138 kph
y = speed of bus b = 128 kph
