Sagot :

Answer:

48,58

Step-by-step explanation:

Let The speed of the west bound train be x

Let the east bound train be x+10

The speeds can be calculated as follows

2(2x+10)= 232

4x + 40= 232

4x= 232-40

4x= 192

x= 192/4

= 48

Hence the speedof the west bound train is 48

The speed of the east bound train is 48+10

= 58
