Algebra.Com's Answer #561638 by ewatrrr(24785)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Distances will be the same the faster train catches the slower one \n" ); document.write( "t the time for the slower train \n" ); document.write( "35kph(t) = 40kph(t-1) \n" ); document.write( "40 = 5t \n" ); document.write( "8hr = t, the time for the slower train \n" ); document.write( ".......... \n" ); document.write( " How far from station M will the faster train catch the slower one? \n" ); document.write( "Distance traveled: 35kph(8hr) = 280mi \n" ); document.write( " |
