The distance from New York to London is 3470 mi. At 9:00 AM (EST) on Tuesday, a boat departs from New York for London and a second boat departs from London for New York. What is the speed of the boat from New York if it travels 5 mi/hr faster than the other boat and the two boats pass on Thursday at 11:00 AM (EST)?

New York Boat

Distance = 3470 miles

rate = x + 5

time = 50 hours

London Boat

Distance = 3470 miles

rate = x

time = 50 hours

50(x + 5) + 50x = 3470

Take it from here.
