Charlie and Violet met for lunch at a restuarant between their two locations (exactly in the middle). It took Charlie 2.6 hours to get there, but it only took Violet two hours because she was driving 15 mph faster than Charlie. The distance between the two of them intially was 260 miles. Find the speed of the two drivers.

Charlie' rate ---- x mph
Violet's rate = x+15 mph
You said they met at the midpoint, so didn't each go 130 miles ??
solve for x:
130/(x+15) = 2
Violet's rate = x+15 mph
