    Kyle's speed is represented by variable k.

    Joel's speed is represented by variable j.

    Kyle is 10 mph faster.

    k = j+10.

    Driving in opposite directions after 6 hrs, they are 780 mi apart.

    6j + 6k=780

    Substitute for k

    6j + 6 (j+10) = 780

    6j+6j+60=780

    12j+60=780

    12j=720

    j=60

    Final answer: Joel was travelling 60 mph
