---------------------------------------------------------------------
Define x :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Let the cost of the toy train be x.
Toy Train = x
Toy car = 2x - 20

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The toy car costs $100.
⇒ 2x - 20 = 100

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
2x - 20 = 100
2x = 100 + 20
2x = 120
x = 60 

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the cost of the toy train :
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost of the toy train = x = $60

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The toy train costs $60.
