Algebra.Com's Answer #18373 by atif.muhammad(135) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's see what we know: \n" ); document.write( "Mary's Distance = 285 miles \n" ); document.write( "Mary's Speed = 57mph \n" ); document.write( "Mary's Time = x\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Tiffany's Distance = 220 miles \n" ); document.write( "Tiffany's Speed = w mph \n" ); document.write( "Tiffany's Time = x\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The reason both Tiffany and Mary's time = x, is because they both got home at the same time so they must have taken the same time to get home. duh!\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Distance = Speed x Time\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Time = Distance divided by Speed\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Mary's Time = 285 divided by 57\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is therefore, the time Tiffany took to get home as well.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Distance = Speed x Time\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Speed = Distance divided by time\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Tiffany's Speed = Tiffany's Distance divided by Tiffany's Time\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "w =44 mph! \n" ); document.write( " |
