A train leaves the station traveling north at 75 mph 2 hours later a second train leaves on a parallel track and travels north at 125 mph how far from the station will they meet

At 3 hours, the trains will be equidistant from the station.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first train leaves at 75 miles per hour and has a 2 hour head start.  This will put the first train at mile marker 150 (75 * 2) when the second train leaves the station at 125 mph.

To solve when they will be near each other, we set up an equation to solve for t.

150 + 75t = 125t

150 = 50t

3 = t

So given this value, we know the trains will be equidistant from the train station on parallel tracks after 3 hours.

Cheers.

i believe the correct answer is b.

answer:   b

step-by-step explanation:

x2 = 16

x can not be a negative number because 16 is positive

the only answer would be positive 8
