<PRE><B>Question 124083</B>
A train leaves Danville Junction and travels north at a speed of 75km/hr. 
Two hours later, an express train leaves on a parallel track and travels north at 125km/hr.
 How far from the station will they meet?
--------------
Regular train DATA:
Time = x hrs ; rate = 75 km/hr ; distance = r*t = 75x km
-----------------------
Express train DATA:
Time = x-2 hrs ; rate = 125 km/hr ; distance = rt = 125(x-2) km
-------------------------
EQUATION:
distance = distance
75x = 125(x-2)
75x = 125x-250
50x = 250
x = 5 hrs (time of the regular train)
75x = 375 km (distance the regular train traveled=distance express traveled)
