Problema Solution
tow trains are 504 miles apart and are traveling toward each other. One is traveling 85 mph and the other is travel 95mph at what point due they meet?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
v1 = 85 mph the speed of the first train
v2 = 95 mph the speed of the second train
d = 504 mi the distance
t = the time of the travel
Since distance = speed*time we can write:
v1t + v2t = d
85t + 95t = 504

........
t = 2.8 hr
v1*t = 85*2.8 = 238 mi
The trains will meet 238 miles distance from the spot where the first train started the travel.
