E=egg farm
x=distantce between the Berto´s trains and the meeting point.
t=time where the trains meet up
⇒110 miles/h ⇒85miles/h
[---------------------------E----------------------]-------------------------------------X
[............12 miles.......][........34 miles.....][------------ x ----------------------]
distance between Berto´s train and Eduardo´s train=
=12 miles+34 miles=46 miles.
S=d/t ⇒d=S*t
S=seed
d=distance
T=time
Eduardo´s train;
46 miles+x=t*110 miles/h ⇒x=t*110 miles/h-46 miles (1)
Berto´s train;
x=t*85 miles/h (2)
With the equations (1) and (2) we suggest this system equations:
x=t* 110 miles/h-46 miles
x=t*85 miles/h
we solve this system equiations :
t*110 miles/h-46 miles=t*85 miles/h
110t miles/h-85t miles/h=46 miles
25 t miles/h=46 miles
t=46 miles/25 miles/h=1,84 hour (≈1 hour, 50 minutes, 24 seconds)
x=t*85 miles/h=156,4 miles
Solution: 1,84 hour
