Problema Solution
Currently, the two fastest trains are the japanese Maglev and the french TGV. The sum of their fastest speeds is 718.2 miles per hour. If the speed of the Maglev is 3.8 mph faster than the speed of the TGV, find the speeds of each.
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the speed of the TGV, then 'x+3.8' equals the speed of the Maglev
718.2 = x+x+3.8
solving for 'x' we have:
x=357.2
357.2+3.8=361
the speed of the Maglex is 361
the speed of the TGV is 357.2
