A train is traveling from point A to point B, the distance between these two points is 329 miles. The total time it takes for the train to travel between point A and B is 7 hours. If for the first 74 miles the train travels at a speed of 14mph slower than its speed during the last 255 miles, what is the trains speed during the last 255 miles?


I know speed=distancetime, if we represent x as the trains speed during the last 255 miles then x14 represents the speed during the first 74 miles, and the average speed throughout the entire speed is speed=3297, this is 47mph.
Now I don't know how to find the speed during the last 255 miles?


I don't want the answer I just need help with figuring it out.


Answer



You can solve 74(x14)+255x=7
