Let s = northbound train
Then
2s = southbound train
:
Distance = time * speed
4s + 4(2s) = 600
:
4s + 8s = 600
:
12s = 600
:
s = 600/12
:
s = 50 mph is the northbound train
Then
2(50) = 100 mph is the southbound train
:
:
Check:
4(50) + 4(100) = 600

Answer:

$x = - 12$

C.E.: x =/= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{x + 4} = \frac{4}{x + 4} + 2 \\ \frac{x}{x + 4} = \frac{4 + 2x + 8}{x + 4} \\ x = 4 + 2x + 8 \\ - x = 12 \\ x = - 12$
