You can put this solution on YOUR website!
TRAIN a TIMES x+1
\n" ); document.write( "TRAIN b TIMES x
\n" ); document.write( "together they = 365
\n" ); document.write( "65(x+1)+55(x)=365
\n" ); document.write( "65x+55x+65=365
\n" ); document.write( "120x=300
\n" ); document.write( "x=2.5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hence, it will take train a 3.5h and it will take train b 2.5h to be 365 miles apart.
