Answer:

The speeds are 74 mph and 87 mph.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = speed of slower train

     x + 13 = speed of faster train

 

The trains meet when the sum of the distances = 483

 

3x + 3(x+13) = 483

 

6x + 39 = 483

 

6x = 444

 

 x = 74 mph

 

The speeds are 74 mph and 87 mph.
