Answer:

  • first: 363 mph
  • second: 358.6 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f represent the speed of the first train. Then the second train's speed is (f-4.4) and the total speed is ...

  f +(f -4.4) = 721.6

  2f = 726 . . . . . . . . . add 4.4; next, divide by 2

  f = 363 . . . . . . . . . . . speed of the first train in miles per hour

  f -4.4 = 358.6 . . . . . . speed of the second train in miles per hour
