Two buses leave town 1666 kilometers apart at the same time and travels towed each other. One bus travels 10 km/h slower than the other. If they meet in 7 hours, what is the rate of each bus

10 km/h

228 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the speed of one of the buses. Since we know that both buses only travelled 7 hours, we can multiply the speed of the first bus by 7 hours to get its total distance

10 km/h * 7 hours = 70 km

Now we subtract this amount from the total distance that the two buses are seperated initially

1666 / 70 = 1596 km

Finally, we can divide this remaining distance by the 7 hours that the second bus travelled to get the second buses rate of speed.

1596 / 7 = 228 km/h

**The total distance between both buses is probably wrong and may be 166km and not 1666 as the question states**

x = -5
