Answer:

A=368 miles

B= 356.3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the two trains be A and B

A+B=724.3----------1

A-B=11.7--------------2

From eqn 1

A= 724.3-B

put this in place of A in eqn 2

724.3-B-B= 11.7

724.3-2B= 11.7

724.3-11.7= 2B

712.6=2B

B= 712.6/2

B= 356.3 miles

Put B=356.3 in eqn 1

A+356.3=724.3----------1

A= 724.3-356.3

A=368 miles
