<PRE><B>Question 974539</B>
An eastbound train and a westbound train meet each other on parallel tracks heading in opposite directions. The eastbound train travels 14 miles per hour faster than the westbound train. After 2 hours, they are 264 miles apart. At what speeds are the two trains traveling?

let x=speed of westbound train
x+14 speed of eastbound trains
distance=travel time*speed
..
2x+2(x+14)=264
2x+2x+28
4x=236
x=59
x+14=73
speed of westbound train=59 mph
speed of eastbound trains=73 mph</PRE>
