A bus and a car start from the same point in opposite directions. The car's speed is 10 km/h more than the bus's speed. After 3 hours they are 270 km apart. Find the speed of the bus (in km/h).

Question

Accepted Answer

40. Bus speed = x, car speed = x + 10. In 3 h, distance apart = 3x + 3(x+10) = 6x + 30 = 270, 6x = 240, x = 40 km/h.
