\n" ); document.write( "To the store DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 4.5 mph ; distance = x ; time = x/4.5 hrs.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "From the store DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 3 mph ; distance = x ; time = x/3 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "time + time= 1 hr.
\n" ); document.write( "x/4.5 + x/3 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 4.5x = 3*4.5
\n" ); document.write( "7.5x = 13.5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1.8 miles
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Time to the store = x/4.5 = 1.8/4.5 = 0.4 hr. or 24 minutes
