***
let x=length of time trains had been traveling
let d=distance from Toronto when trains pass each other
travel time=distance/speed
speed=90+70=160 km/h
x=4370/160=27.31
distance=speed*travel time
d=70*x=1911.88
length of time trains had been traveling=27.31 hrs
distance from Toronto when trains pass each other=1911.88 km
..
How much pure water bust be mixed with 9 pints of 50% developer to produce a mixture that is 28% developer?
let x=amt of pure water to be mixed
50%*9=28%(9+x)
4.5=2.52+.28x
.28x=1.98
x=7.07
amt of pure water to be mixed=7.07 pints
