Answer:

60 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We calculate the combined distance travelled by the two trains in two hours.

As they were 500 miles apart at first, and 300 miles apart after, they have travelled 200 miles together.

I think the question means "one train travels 20 mph faster than the other".

Say the faster train has speed x mph. Then the slower has speed x - 20 mph.

Now, the combined distance travelled in 2 hrs is 2 * (x + x - 20) = 200

2x - 20 = 100

2x = 120

x = 60 mph

column a the slope of the line through the points (12,-4) and (2,-10) column b the slope of the line through the points (-4,6) a
Oksanka [162]
Alright, subtract the y's then the x's.

-4-(-10)=6
12-2=10
Column A= 3/5 reduced

18-6=12
10-(-4)=14

Column B= 6/7 reduced

It doesn't matter which way you subtract as long as you do y first and x second.
