Two trains are 450 miles apart, and are traveling toward each other at the same time. They meet 6 hrs later. The speed of the first train is 25 mph faster than that of the second train. What is the speed of each train?

Answer 1

they covered 450 miles in 6 hours. That's a combined speed of 75 mi/hr.

So, if the slower train's speed is x,

x + x+25 = 75

Answer 2

X=22.5
X=2.5
