Two trains leave towns 1542 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. one train travels 11 km/h slower than the other. if they meet in 6 hours, what is the rate of each train? Rate of the slower train:

Rate of the faster train:

Slower trains: 123 km/h

Faster train: 134 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, one must know the following formula:

The problem gives one the following information:

Let () represent the speed of the slower train and () represent the speed of the faster train.

One can form an equation, let (x) represent the speed of the slower train. Using the distance equation, one can state that the speed of each train times the travel time equals the distance. Since the trains met each other in (6) hours, and the combined distance traveled between the two trains is (1542 km); one can use this information to form an equation.

Substitute,

Simplify, distribute, multiply every term inside of the parenthesis by the term outside of it. Then combine like terms,

Inverse operations,

Solve for the speed of the faster train. It is given that it is (11 km/h) faster than the slower train.
