Question 524056
First person	x 	mph						
Second person	x+	5	mph					
..								
They are moving towards each other								
								
So add up their speed.								
								
combined speed = x+		1	x	+	5			
(	2	x	+	5	) 			
Time = 	1.17	hours						
Distance =   	12	miles						
Distance = speed * time								
(	2	x		5	)*	1.17	=	12
2.33	x 	+	5.83	=	12			
2.33	x 	=	12	+	-5.83			
2.33	x 	=	6.17					
/	2.33							
x=	2.64	mph	First person					
Second person	2.64	+	5	=	7.64	mph
