Heather and esmeralda both leave the park at the same time, but in opposite directions. if esmeralda travels 9 mph faster than heather and after 8 hours they are 248 miles apart, how fast is each traveling? ?

If Heather and Esmeralda are travelling in opposite directions, their total distance is the 248.

Let Heather's speed be = x

Let Esmeralda's speed be = x+9

they each travel for 8 hours  so time = 8 hours

Distance = speed * time

x=11

So, Heather is traveling at 11 miles per hour and

Esmeralda is traveling at  x+9 = 11+9 =20 miles per hour

Heather travels 11*8 = 88 miles

Esmeralda travels = 20*8 =160 miles

38.5

step-by-step explanation:

lets say, first number = r

second number = 3r+7

total = 49

(r)+(3r+7)= 49

4r+7 = 49

4r = 42

r = 42/4

r= 10.5

3r+7 = 3(10.5)+7 = 38.5
