two trains leave a station at the same time and travel in opposite directions. one train travels 20 kph faster than the other train. after 3 hours, they are 810 miles apart. what is the speed of each train?

Respuesta :

The speed of each train is 125kph and 145kph.

Here it is given that the distance between the two trains is 810 miles after traveling for 3 hours.

The difference in their speed is 20 kph.

Let x be the speed of one train. So by this, we get the speed of the second train that is x + 20.

Formula to calculate speed is:

Speed = Distance / Time

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance covered by first train = x × 3

Distance covered by second train = (x + 20) × 3

Total distance = 810

So we get;

3x + (x + 20)3 = 810

3x + 3x + 60 = 810

6x = 750

x = 125

x + 20 = 125 + 20 = 145

Therefore we get the speed of both trains which is 125kpp and 145 kph.
