Landon and Eduardo both leave the coffee shop at the same time, but in opposite directions. If Eduardo
travels 9 mph faster than Landon and after 5 hours they are 135 miles apart, how fast is each traveling?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the speed of Landon=x

speed of Eduardo=x+9

5x+5(x+9)=135

divide by 5

x+x+9=135/5=27

2x+9=27

2x=27-9

2x=18

x=18/2=9

speed of Landon=9 mph

speed of Eduardo=9+9=18 mph
