Algebra! Love it or hate it?

If it's the former, try this problem for size.

Usual arithmetical rules apply; the 'O' is a letter, not zero.

* CROSS
+ ROADS
DANGER

when S = 3

(Ignore the asterisk, just had difficulty lining up the characters!)

Great- my logic was slightly different but at least I came up with correct answer?. More puzzles please- I’m in time-wasting mood. Raining outside and just got rid of French guests for a few hours.

A train going 60 mph starts from Bustletown heading to Ironchester. Another going 40 mph starts at the same time traveling from Ironchester to Bustletown. Assuming distance between towns is over 250 miles, how far apart will they be an hour before they meet? (No stops for either, and no algebra needed).
