    as a reference :Oslo = 0

    Train A:

    Since t = t

    A = 80t +0

    Train B

    at 8:00 , t = 0

    10:00 , train start travel 2 hours later

    but it is 500 miles away from Oslo to start with.

    B= 500 + -100(t-2)= -100t +200 +500

    B = -100t + 700

    when does A = B

    80t= -100t + 700

    180t = 700

    t= 700/180 = 70/18 = 35/9 = 3 8/9 hours

    3 8/9 hours = 3 + 8/9 hours = 3 hours +8/9*60 minutes

    480/9 = minutes = 53.33333 = 53 minutes and 20 seconds

    8:00 + 3 Hours + 53 minutes + 20 seconds

    Time = 11:53:20

    distance from Oslo

    dist= 80t= 80*3 8/9 = 311 1/9 Miles
