Answer:
...
Step-by-step explanation:
(n-21)/2=4n is the equation
First, divide what is in the parentheses by 2
0.5n-10.5=4n
Then, multiply the whole equation by 2 so we have all whole numbers
n-21=8n
Move N so that it is with 8n
7n=-21
Divide 21 by 7
n=-3
Solution: The number (n) is equal to -3
5

Median is the middle number so it would be 250
-- The trains start moving at the same time.
-- The space between them is initially 252.5 miles.
-- They reduce the distance between them at the rate of (124.7+253.5)=378.2mph.
-- It will take them (252.5 / 378.2) = 0.6676 hour to meet.
That's 40min 3.49sec .
-- After tooting and puffing toward each other for 8 minutes, they still have <em>32min 3.49sec</em> to go before they meet each other. We're all hoping that they're on different tracks.
