Question 938833: two trains start at the same spot and travel in opposite directions. one train travels 5 km/hr faster than the other train. if after 4 hours, the trains are 460 km apart, how fast was each travelling? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x speed of slower train
4x + 4(x+5) = 460
8x = 440
x = 55mph,speed of slower train. Faster train 60mph
And...checking
220mi + 240mi = 460
