Answer:

  367 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the faster train is half the total plus half the difference:

  s1 = (723.1 +10.9)/2 = 367 . . . . miles per hour

_____

<em>Check</em>

The slower train is 367-10.9 = 356.1, and the total is 723.1 mph, as required.

_____

If you want an equation, you can let x represent the faster speed. Then the total is ...

  x + (x -10.9) = 723.1

  2x = 723.1 +10.9

  x = (723.1 +10.9)/2 = 367
