Help ASAP Jamal and Diego both leave the restaurant at the same time, but in opposite directions. If Diego travels 7 mph faster than Jamal and after 4 hours they are 68 miles apart, how fast is each traveling?

Jamal travels at a speed of 5 mph and Diego travels at a speed of 12 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jamal's speed is of x mph.

Diego's speed is of (x + 7) mph.
