Julie started at x hours
\n" ); document.write( "Jane started at x+2 hours
\n" ); document.write( "40(x+2)-60(x)=20
\n" ); document.write( "40x-60x=20-80
\n" ); document.write( "-20x=-60
\n" ); document.write( "x=3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hence, it took Julie 3 hours to get 20 milies ahead of Jane.
