Two buses leave a station at the same time and travel in opposite directions . One bus travels 19 kilometers faster than the other. If the two buses are 1035 kilometers apart after 5 hours, what is the rate of each bus?

Solution

Solution

first bu s^{'} s speed : 113

second bu s^{'} s speed : 94

Solution steps

Translate the problem into an equation:

x \cdot 5 + (x - 19) \cdot 5 = 1035

Solve for

x, x \cdot 5 + (x - 19) \cdot 5 = 1035 : x = 113

Find speed

first bu s^{'} s speed : 113

second bu s^{'} s speed : 94
