slower than the other. if the two buses are
585

miles apart after
5

hours, what is the rate of each bus?

63 miles per hour

54 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two buses be represented as bus A and bus B.

bus A and bus B leave a station at the same time and travel in opposite directions.

Let the speed of bus A be A miles per hour.

Let the speed of bus B be B miles per hour.

One bus travels 9 miles/hour slower than the other.

Let bus A be the faster bus.

This means that the speed of bus B is B = A - 9

If the two buses are 585 miles apart after 5hours, this means that after 5hours, the total distance travelled by bus A and bus B is 585 miles.

Distance travelled by bus A in 5 hours = speed × time = 5A

Distance travelled by bus B in 5 hours = speed × time = 5B

5A + 5B = 585 - - - - - -1

Substituting B = A - 9 in equation 1

5A + 5(A - 9) = 585

5A + 5A - 45 = 585

10A = 585 + 45 = 630

A = 630/10 = 63 miles per hour

B = A - 9 = 63 - 9 = 54 miles per hour
