An eastbound train and a westbound train meet each other on parallel tracks heading in opposite directions. The eastbound train travels 18 miles per hour faster than the westbound train. After 2.5 hours, they are 270
miles apart. At what speeds are the two trains traveling?
Write an equation using the information as it is given above that can be used to solve this problem. Use the
variable r to represent the speed of the westbound train.
Equation:
The eastbound train is traveling mph.

The westbound train is travelingmph.
