    =800 km

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the distance traveled by train be y and by bus be x.

    Bus - x

    Train - y

    y=x+150 (since they traveled by train for a distance of 150 km more than by bus.)

    The sum of the two is equal to 1450

    x+y=1450

    y=x+150

    These two form simultaneous equations.

    y+x=1450 ... i

    y-x=150 ... ii

    Adding ii to i gives:

    2y=1600

    Divide both sides by two

    y=800

    Distance traveled by train = y=800 km
