Question

The sum of the speeds two trains is 717.6 miles per hour. If the speed of the first train is 6.4 mph faster than that of the second train, find the speeds
of each.
What is the speed of the first train?

Answer 1

Train 1 = x + 6.4

Train 2 = x

(x) + (x + 6.4) = 717.6

2x + 6.4 = 717.6

2x = 711.2

x = 355.6

Train 1 = 355.6 + 6.4 = 362 mph

Train 2 = 355.6 mph

Hope this helps!! :)
