R = rate
A = P(1-r)^t
A^t = P(1-r)
A^t/P = 1-r
(A^t/P)-1 = -r
r = -((A^t/P)-1)
Truck speed be x
car travel at x+19
they travel in opposite directions
so the separation is (x+x+19) * no. of hours
1048 = (2x+19)*8
x = ((1048/8) - 19)/2
=56
truck speed is 56 miles per hour
car speed is 56+19 = 75 miles per hour
