You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
Before to meet each other, train A traveled 200 + 200 + 200 = 3*200 = 600 miles in 3 hours,
while train B traveled only 300 miles in 1 hour.
These distances are in opposite directions from the meeting point.
Therefore, you need to add 600 miles and 300 miles to get your ANSWER.
