At midnight, two ferries that were 800 miles apart started travelling directly towards each other, but one ferry was travelling 40 mph faster than the other. Sadly, at 8 a.m., they collided. What was the speed of each ferry when they collided?

r represents the speed of the slower
r + 40 represents the speed of the faster
8r + 8(r + 40) = 800
Can you solve for r and answer?
