A loaded moving truck is traveling 30 mph faster than a freight train. in the time it takes the train to travel 135 miles, the truck travels 225 miles. find the speed of the truck
speed of truck= x speed of train=x-30 A loaded moving truck is traveling 30 mph faster than a freight train. in the time it takes the train to travel 135 miles, the truck travels 225 miles. find the speed of the truck.
A loaded moving truck is traveling 30 mph faster than a freight train... (x-30)=speed of train the time it takes the train to travel 135 miles, the truck travels 225 miles... 135/(x-30)=225/x the you multiply on both sides the x values and get... 135x=225x-6750 then you subtract 225x on both sides... -90x=-6750 then you divide -90 on both sides... x=75 the speed of the truck is 75mph i hope this helped give me a thanks and a 5 star rating if it helped! c:
