Question 1208999
They go in opposite directions so the sum of the distances each travels by 6 hours
must be 246 miles.


eastbound + westbound = 246


{{{6s+6(s+5)=246}}}
{{{6s+6s+30=246}}}
{{{12s+30=246}}}
{{{12s=246-30}}}
{{{12s=216}}}
{{{s=216/12}}}
{{{s=18}}}


East bound, 18 mph
West bound, 23 mph
