trains word problem

Question

Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels 14 miles per hour slower than the westbound train. If the two trains are 950 miles apart after 5 hours, what is the rate of the eastbound train?

Answer 1

v = speed of westbound train

v - 14 = speed of eastbound train

(v - 14)(5) + v(5) = 950

10v = 1020

v = 102 mph

v - 14 = 102 - 14 = 88 mph
