Rate*Time=Distance
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%2AT1=D\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"44%2AT2=D\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So then
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%2AT1=44%2AT2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Total time equation,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"T1%2BT2=0.5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6T1%2B6T2=3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for $\"6T1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"44T2%2B6T2=3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"50T2=3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"T2=3%2F50\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6T1=44T2=%2844%283%29%29%2F50\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"T1=%2844%283%29%29%2F%286%2850%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"T1=11%2F25\"$
\n" ); document.write( "11/25 of an hour is about 26.4 minutes.
\n" ); document.write( "Distance=Rate*Time
\n" ); document.write( "D=6(11/25)=2.64 km \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
