2(x+6)=x(x+1)
2x+12=x^2+x
x^2-x-12=0

(x-4)(x+3)=0

x-4=0
x=4

x+3=0
x=-3

Two trains leave stations 306 miles apart at the same time traveling toward each other one is traveling at 90 mph the other at 8

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

They will meet in 1.8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, distance between trains = 306 miles

Let they take time $'t'$ to meet each other.

Speed of first train = 90 mph

Speed of second train = 80 mph

Let distance traveled by first train = $D_1$ miles

Formula for distance:

$Distance = Speed \times Time$

Distance traveled by first train, $D_1 = 90t$

Let distance traveled by first train = $D_2$ miles

Formula for distance:

$Distance = Speed \times Time$

Distance traveled by first train, $D_2 = 80t$

Total distance traveled is 306 miles.

i.e.

$D_1+D_2=306\\\Rightarrow 90t +80t=306\\\Rightarrow 170t=306\\\Rightarrow t =\dfrac{306}{170}\\\Rightarrow \bold{t=1.8\ hr}$

They will meet in 1.8 hours.
