Atrain leaves new york at 4: 00pm. a second train leaves the same city in the same direction at 6: 00pm. the second train travels 24 mph faster than the first. if the second train overtakes first at 10: 00pm, what is the speed of each of the two trains first train ? second train ?

first train leaves at 4 and meets with second at 10 so it traveled 6 hours

second train leaves at 6 and meets the first at 10 so it traveled 4 hours

6 hours ·rate of first = distance traveled until they meet

4 hours (rate of first +24) = distance traveled until they meet

Yet both trains traveled the same distance so

6 hours ·rate of first =4 hours (rate of first +24)

6 hours ·rate of first -4 hours ·rate of first= 24·4

2·rate of first=96

rate of first train =96/2=48 mph

rate of second train =48+24=72 mph
