Question 425819
west bound	x 	mph					
east bound	x-	5					
..							
They are going away from each other.							
							
So add up their speed.							
							
combined speed = x+x-5		
=2x-5			
Time = 	24	hours					
Distance =1080	miles					
Distance = speed * time							
(2x-5)*	24
48x-120=1080		
48x=1080+120		
48x=1200				
/48						
x=25 mph west bound				
east bound = 	25-5=20	mph
