Let $\"d\"$ = the one-way distance to the cemetary in miles
\n" ); document.write( "If $\"d+=+r%2At\"$ , then
\n" ); document.write( " $\"t+=+d%2Fr\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"d%2F8+%2B+d%2F6+=+7\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"48\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6d+%2B+8d+=+7%2A48\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"14d+=+336\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"d+=+24\"$
\n" ); document.write( "It is 24 miles to the cemetary \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
