X MPH = train a speed,
(x + 10) mph = train b speed,
d1 + d2 = 960 m1,
8x + 8(x + 10) = 960,
8x + 8x + 80 = 960,
16x + 80 = 960,
16x = 960 - 80,
16x = 880,
x = 55 mph,
(x + 10) = 55 + 10 = 65 mph.
(x + 10) mph = train b speed,
d1 + d2 = 960 m1,
8x + 8(x + 10) = 960,
8x + 8x + 80 = 960,
16x + 80 = 960,
16x = 960 - 80,
16x = 880,
x = 55 mph,
(x + 10) = 55 + 10 = 65 mph.
