    Step-by-step explanation:

    Bus One

    speed = x

    t = 7 hours

    d = ?

    Bus two

    speed = x + 11

    time = 7 hours

    d1 = 1015 miles - d

    Equations

    d = s * t

    Bus 1 + bus 2 = 1015

    Solution

    x * 7 + (x + 11) * 7 = 1015

    7x + 7x + 11*7 = 1015

    14x + 77 = 1015

    14x + 77 - 77 = 1015 - 77

    14x = 938

    14x/14 = 938/14

    x = 67 miles / hour

    x + 11 = 78 miles / hour
