Two high speed trains are 480 miles apart and traveling towards each other. they meet in 3 hours. if one trains speed is 5 miles per hour faster than the other, find the speed of each train

77.5 mph and 82.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the speeds of the trains are x and x + 5.

The combined distance traveled by the trains is 480 miles.

480 = x × 3 + (x + 5) × 3

480 = 3x + 3x + 15

480 = 6x + 15

465 = 6x

x = 77.5

The speeds of the trains are 77.5 mph and 82.5 mph.

1; 35 is the ratio
