You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let h be the time
\n" ); document.write( "Passenger train: d = s*t = 105(h-5)
\n" ); document.write( "Freight train: d = s*t = 70h\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The distance is the same: 105(h-5) = 70h\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "105h - 525 = 70h
\n" ); document.write( "35h = 525
\n" ); document.write( "h = 525/35
\n" ); document.write( "h = 15\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute h = 15 into either above distance equation to find the distance\r
