The train from LA had a(n) 8.5 hour headstart
The distance traveled in those 8.5 hours is 748.0 miles
The distance to go 2252.0 miles
d=r*t+R*t
2252=65*t+88*t
2252=153*t
t=14.7189542 hours for train A from NY
The total time for train from LA to meet train NY is 23.2189542
d=R*t
d=88*14.7189542
d=1295.26797+748.0
d=2043.26797 miles from LA at 88 mph
d=r*t
d=65*14.7189542
d=956.732026 miles from NY at 65 mph
