\n" ); document.write( "
Let time second train takes to catch up to 1st train be T
\n" );
document.write( "Then the 1st train had traveled for \"T + l\" hours before the second train caught up to it
\n" );
document.write( "We then get the following DISTANCE equation: \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+60%28T+%2B+1%2F2%29%2C+%22=%22%2C+75T%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "60T + 30 = 75T
\n" );
document.write( "30 = 75T - 60T
\n" );
document.write( "30 = 15T
\n" );
document.write( "Time second train took to catch up to 1st train, or \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C6%2C+T%2C+%22=%22%2C+30%2F15%2C+%22=%22%2C+2%2C+hours%29%29\" \n" );
