Answer:

  5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the front parts of the trains meet at point A. Since both are the same length and traveling the same speed, each will pass point A in time ...

  time = distance/speed

  time = (1/18 mi)/(40 mi/h) = (1/720 h) × (3600 s)/(1 h) = 5 s

That is, the rear part of each train will be at point A 5 seconds after the front part.

The rear parts will pass each other 5 seconds after the front parts meet.

Answer:

x = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x}{2} = -7

multiply 2 on both sides

the 2's cancel out on the fraction side, leaving x = -7(2)

multiply -7 and 2 to get -14

x = -14
