Question 927070: Enrique is 200 miles away from Jamal. They are traveling towards each other. If Jamal travels 7 mph faster than Enrique and they meet after 8 hours, how fast was each traveling? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = speed of enrique
y = speed of jamal
y = x + 7
---
s = d/t
---
relative speed of the two travelers:
x + y = 200/8
x + x + 7 = 200/8
8(x + x + 7) = 200
16x + 56 = 200
16x = 200 - 56
x = (200 - 56)/16
x = 9
y = x + 7
y = 16
---
answer:
x = speed of enrique = 9 mph
y = speed of jamal = 16 mph
