D=RT
\n" ); document.write( "D=80T
\n" ); document.write( "D=84(T-.5)
\n" ); document.write( "Because the distances are the same:
\n" ); document.write( "80T=84(T-.5)
\n" ); document.write( "80T=84T-42
\n" ); document.write( "80T-84T=-42
\n" ); document.write( "-4T=-42
\n" ); document.write( "T=-42/-4
\n" ); document.write( "T=10.5 HOURS. TRAIN B WILL CATH-UP WITH TRAIN A.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "80*10.5=84*10
\n" ); document.write( "840=840
