You can think of this as one train
\n" ); document.write( "standing still and the other one
\n" ); document.write( "moving at the sum of their speeds
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+s+\" = the speed of the slower train
\n" ); document.write( "in km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+500+=+%28+s+%2B+s+%2B+50+%29%2A2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+500+=+4s+%2B+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4s+=+400+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+=+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+%2B+50+=+150+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Toronto to Montreal train:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B1%5D+=+100%2A2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B1%5D+=+200+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Montreal to Toronto train:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B2%5D+=+150%2A2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B2%5D+=+300+\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "The trains pass 200 mi from Toronto
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
