Question 1030585
Hi there,
Eastbound train travels at x mph
Westbound train travels at (x + 12)mph
Time = Distance /Speed
5 hours = 950 miles/ x + (x + 12)
5 = 950/2x + 12
Cross multiply
5(2x + 12) = 950
10x + 60 = 950
10x = 950 - 60
10x = 890
x = 89
Eastbound train travels at 89 mph
Westbound train travels at 101 mph
Hope this helps :-)
