Two trains leave towns 474 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels13 km/m faster than the other. If they meet in 2 hours, what is the rate of each train?

Respuesta :

Answer:

112 km/h

125 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = time * speed

Distance  = distance train 1 + distance train 2

474 = 2(s) + 2(s + 13)

Distribute

474 = 2s + 2s + 26

Combine like terms

474 = 4s + 26

Subtract 26 from both sides

448 = 4s

Divide both sides by 4

112 = s

s = 112 km/h

s + 13 = 125 km/hr
