Let vel=Distance/Time
\n" ); document.write( "let d = distance to work
\n" ); document.write( "t1=d/vel=d/45
\n" ); document.write( "t2= d/30
\n" ); document.write( "t1+t2=1,,,,given
\n" ); document.write( "d/45+d/30=1
\n" ); document.write( "let LCD =90
\n" ); document.write( "(2d +3d)/90 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "5d=90
\n" ); document.write( "d=18\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( "18/45 +18/30 =1
\n" ); document.write( ".4 + .6=1,,,,ok
\n" ); document.write( "
