15(1)=30(2-x)
\n" ); document.write( "15=60-30x
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify
\n" ); document.write( "x=1.5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "30(1.5)=45\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hencce, the car has to travel 45 mph.
