at 4 hours after leaving, that is at 11 am
Step-by-step explanation:
1) finding the distance of the meeting point (X):
so for the train 1, the distance is "X"; for the train 2, the distance would be "360 - X"
2) replacing in the ecuation: V = X / t:
train 1: 40 miles/h = (360 - X) / t(1)
train 2: 50 miles/h = X / t(2)
⇒ from (2): t = X / 50 (3)
replacing (3) in (1):
⇒ 40 = (360 - X) / ( X / 50)
⇒ 40 = (50 * (360 -X)) / X
⇒ 40X = 18000 - 50X
⇒ 90X = 18000
⇒X = 18000 / 90 = 200 miles meeting distance (4)
replacing (4) in (2):
⇒50millas/h = (200miles) / t
⇒ t = 200miles / 50 miles/h
⇒ t = 4h
