Answer:
56 mph, 26 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The trains are separating at the rate of (205 mi)/(2.5 h) = 82 mi/h. If we let s represent the speed of the slower train, then that sum of their speeds is ...
s + (s+30) = 82
2s = 52 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 30
s = 26 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
s +30 = 56 . . . the speed of the other train
The speeds of the two trains are 56 mph and 26 mph.
