Question 951958: I need help trying just how to set-up the equation for solving.
Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading west and the other east. The westbound train travels
18
miles per hour faster than the eastbound train. If the two trains are
300
miles apart after
2
hours, what is the rate of the westbound train?
