2(p+w)=1030
\n" ); document.write( "2(p-w)=820
\n" ); document.write( "p+w=515 this is where the other tutor went wrong
\n" ); document.write( "p-w=410
\n" ); document.write( "2p=925
\n" ); document.write( "p=462.5 mph
\n" ); document.write( "462.5+w=515
\n" ); document.write( "w=52.5 mph
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
