Question 1194102
Two towns are 1050  miles apart. A group of hikers starts from each town and walks down the trail toward each other. They meet after a total hiking time of 200 hours. If one group travels 1 1/2 mile per hour slower than the other​ group, find the rate of each group.
================
Walking "toward each other" is going in opposite directions.
The speeds are added.
-----
The sum of their speeds is 1050/200 hours = 5.25 mi/hr
-------
Sum = 5.25
Difference = 1.5
------
F + S = 5.25
F - S = 1.5
