\bf \begin{array}{ccccllll}
&distance&rate(mph)&time(hrs)\\\\
&-----&-----&-------\\\\
\textit{first train}&d&80&t\\
\textit{second train}&238-d&90&t
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
thus
\\\\

\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=(80)(t)\\\\
238-\boxed{d}=(90)(t)
\end{cases}

see the substitution?  so.. do the substitution on the 2nd equation, and solve for "t"

bear in mind that, when the trains meet, over the same road, they have been traveling the same distance, one is faster than the other, so the distances differ, but the time does  not, is the same for both,

if the first train has been running 45mins and met the second train,
then the second train has also been running for 45mins,
thus "t" is the same for both

Question: Solve for x.
kherson [118]

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

(whole secant) x (external part) = (tangent)^2

(14+18)* 18 = x^2

32*18 = x^2

576 = x^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(576) = sqrt(x^2)

24 =x
