Aloaded 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:
