here's the answer for you
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
x: unknown number (1)
y: unknown number (2)
We now write the equations that model the problem:
their sum is 6.1:

their difference is 1.6:

Solving the system we have:
We add both equations:

Then, we look for the value of y using any of the equations:
Answer:
The numbers are:
Formula: Distance = rate * time
570 = (R+(R-18))*3
570 = (2R - 18)*3
190 = 2R-16
208 = 2R
R = 104
Eastbound Train: 86mph
Westbound Train: 104mph
Answer:
160
