D=RT
\n" ); document.write( "D=60T FOR THE CAR.
\n" ); document.write( "D=68(T-8/60)
\n" ); document.write( "SET THE 2 DISTANCES EQUAL & SOLVE FOR T
\n" ); document.write( "60T=68(T-4/30)
\n" ); document.write( "60T=68T-(68*4/30)
\n" ); document.write( "60T-68T=-272/30
\n" ); document.write( "-8T=-136/15
\n" ); document.write( "T=(-136/15)/-8
\n" ); document.write( "T=136/15*1/8
\n" ); document.write( "T=136/120
\n" ); document.write( "T=1.1333 HOURS OR 1 HOUR 8 MINUTES THE TRUCK WILL CATCH THE CAR.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "60*1.1333=68(1.1333-.1333)
\n" ); document.write( "68=68
