In the question, it says Object B is moving towards A from rest which is why I drew them in different directions

This is the picture I drew. Would object A need to have a velocity to be able to meet with Object B? I believe my mistake in my equations is with Object A

If there's two t^2 wouldn't they cancel out instead of being solved for?

Hi! I think I could explain. B is already ahead by 50 m meaning it would have to be in constant acceleration while A catches up

Part A) So, I set the two positions equations of A and B equal to each other since the position has to be the same. A: 0 + 0 + 1/2(2)t^2 = 50 + 0 + 1/2(4)t^2 :B I know I have to solve for time t, but there's no way to solve it with both sides having t^2 so I am not sure which variables I got...
