two trains start from towns 273 miles apart and travel toward each other on parallel tracks. The pass each other 3.5 hours later. If one train traves 14 mph faster than the other. Find the speed of each train

Solution:

The speeds of two trains: x, x+14

So the equation is below:

3.5x + 3.5(x+14) = 273

x = 32

So

the speeds of two trains are 32 mph and 46 mph.
