time = distance / rate\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5 = [48 / (20 - c)] + [48 / (20 + c)]\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5 (20 - c) (20 + c) = 48 (20 + c) + 48 (20 - c)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "400 - c^2 = 384\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "16 = c^2
