\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "May DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "time = 1 hr. ; rate = x+10 mph ; distance = rt = (x+10)*1 mi
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Leah DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "time = 3 hr. ; rate = x mph ; distance = rt = 3x mi
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = distance
\n" ); document.write( "x+10 = 3x
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5 mph (Leah's rate)
\n" ); document.write( "x+10 = 15 mph (May's rate)
