    Well let's call the fast bus b

    That means the slow bus will be b-18

    We know they travel in 5 hours, so multiply them both by 5

    So 5b + 5b - 90 = 670

    Simplify it down and collect like terms

    10b = 580

    Isolate b by dividing both by 10

    b = 58

    The fast bus travelled at 58mph

    We know the slow bus travels 18mph slower than the fast one

    58 - 18 = 40

    The slow bus travels at 40mph
