Answer:
The eastbound train travels at 92 mph and the westbound train travels at 96 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Velocity = distance / time
If the eastbound train travels at x miles per hour, the westbound train travels at x + 4 mph.
After 3.5 hours, they are 658 miles apart. If we solve for distance the formula given above we have: Distance = velocity x time. We have that the total distance between both trains is 658 miles.
Substituting the values of the problem and solving for x we have
Thus, the eastbound train travels at 92 mph and the westbound train travels at 96 mph.
