If Joe and Eugene are travelling in opposite directions, their total distance is 360 km.

Eugene's speed = 70 km/hour

Let Joe's speed be = x

They each travel for 3 hours, so time = 3 hours

Distance = speed * time

$360=70(3)+x(3)$

$360=210+3x$

$3x=150$

$x=50$

Hence, Joe's speed is 50 km per hour.
