I think of one train as standing still and the other
\n" ); document.write( "traveling at the sum of their speeds
\n" ); document.write( "\"+780+=+%28+120+%2B+140+%29%2At+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+780+=+260t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t+=+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "3 PM + 3 hrs is 6 PM
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "In 3 hrs, slower train travels
\n" ); document.write( "\"+120%2A3+=+360+\" km
\n" ); document.write( "faster train travels
\n" ); document.write( "\"+140%2A3+=+420+\" km
\n" ); document.write( "\"+360+%2B+420+=+780+\" km
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
