a train leaves atlanta at 2:00pm a second train leaves the same city in the same direction at 6:00pm. the second train travels 44mph faster than the first. if the second train overtakes the first at 11:00pm what is the speed of each of the two trains?

Distance is equal, First train T = 9, R and Second train T = 5, R+44

9R = 5(R+44)

9R = 5R + 220

4R = 220

R = 55mph first train

99mph second train
