Question

A train leaves new york at 4:00 pm. a second train leaves the same city in the same direction at 6:00 pm. the second train travels 60mph faster than the first. if the second train overtakes the first at 8:00 pm, what is the speed of each of the two trains?

Answer 1

Let y be train 1 and x train 2


y= 60mph+x

8-4 = 4 hours 

((60+x)+x)4=(x+2)

(60+2x)4=(x+2)
