two buses leave towns 924mi apart at the same time and travel toward each other. one bus travels 10mi/h slower than the other. if they meet in 6 hours, what is the rate of each bus?

Question

directrix · Answer

Let x be speed of one bus
Let x + 10 be speed of faster bus

In 6 hours the first bus travels 6*x miles  (speed times time = distance)
In 6 hours the other bus travels 6*(x + 10) miles

directrix · Answer

6*x + 6* (x + 10) = 924

6*x + 6*x + 60 = 924

12*x                  =  864

x =                         72 for speed of slower bus

x + 10 =                 82 for speed of faster bus
