A train leaves LAX traveling 65 MPH and another train leaves NY traveling at 35 MPH…at what destination will they collide

t is the same for both I assume

65 t + 35 t = distance between LA and NYC

t = distance/100

so distance from NYC = 35 * (distance between)/100

To determine where the two trains will collide, we need to find the time it takes for them to meet. Since we are given their speeds, we can set up a basic equation:

Distance = Speed × Time

For one train, the distance it travels is equal to its speed multiplied by the time. Let's call the time it takes for both trains to meet as "T" in hours.

For the train leaving LAX: Distance = 65T
For the train leaving NY: Distance = 35T

We want to find the point where the distances are equal, so we can set up the equation:

65T = 35T

Now we can solve for T:

65T - 35T = 0
30T = 0
T = 0

It seems that according to the equation, the trains meet at T = 0 hours, which doesn't make sense. This implies that the two trains do not collide.
