The distance between the two stations is 196 km. Two motorcyclists start their journey from these stations together in opposite directions. If the speed of one of them is 7 km/h more than the speed of the other and after 2 hours of starting the journey both the riders are 32 km apart from each other, then find the speed of each.

Answer:
300=(v+7)2+34+v2 [dist= velocity× time]
300=2v+14+34+2v
300=4v+48
4v=252
v=63 km/h
Check: Put v=63 in the equation then RHS converts to
(63+7)2+34+63×2
70×2+34+63×2
140+34+126
300
Which is equal to LHS.
