Afreight train leaves a station at noon traveling at 30 mph. a passenger train leaves 1 hour later traveling at 50 mph. at what time will the passenger train overtake the freight train?

after 2.5 hour passenger train would overtake .

Step-by-step explanation:

A freight  train leaves a station at noon traveling at 30 mph.

A passenger train leaves 1 hour later travelling at 50 mph

Let the time to leave the station of freight train = t

time to leave passenger train = t - 1

Since distance = speed × time

the expression will be :

30t = 50(t - 1)

30t = 50t - 50

30t - 50t = -50

-20t = -50

t =

t = 2.5 hours

After 2.5 hours passenger train would overtake the freight train.

step-by-step explanation:

the x's and the y's both go up the same amount each time, therefore it will be a linear function because it will go in a straight line when drawn on a graph.

hope this !
