Question: If a train travels the distance between two cities ( from city 1 to city 2 ) with constant speed of 6 0 km /

If a train travels the distance between two cities (from city1 to city2) with constant speed of 60 km/h, it will get there 1 hour late. If it travels the same distance with 80 km/h it will get there half an hour early. What is the distance between two cities.
Hint: Either way the distance traveled by the train is the same, so Delta X (for V of 60 km/h )= Delta X (for V of 80 km/h ).
Being 1 hour late means t1= t +1(in hours)
Being half an hour soon means t2= t 1/2(in hours)
