You can put this solution on YOUR website! At 7am, a train left the station, heading directly north at 50 mph. At 9am, a bus left the same station heading directly south at 60 mph. At what time will the train and the bus be 650 miles apart.
***
let x=travel time of train leaving the station at 7 am
x-2=travel time of bus leaving the station at 9 am
distance traveled=travel time*speed
50x+60(x-2)=650
50x+60x-120=650
110x=770
x=7
At what time will the train and the bus be 650 miles apart.=7 am+5 hrs=2 pm
