Solve Kinematic Equations for Collision of Carts

Remove them since are 0?

Of course. I would have thought that would be obvious.

It is painful to try to apply and work with equations if you don't understand what the terms are and what they represent physically. You should be able to look at all the basic kinematic equations and describe what each term represents.

You should already have been introduced to writing and solving equations in your studies. These are very basic things that you seem to be struggling with. Perhaps you need to find a tutorial on basic algebra?

Yes, I just didn't simplfy it yet. This is my first physics lesson so I'm still learning the basics. Our teacher said it would be challenging for us. Thanks for bearing with me on this.
