On a road trip they drove 55 miles per hour to California, on the way home they drove 65 miles per hour.
\n" ); document.write( " How many miles did they drive on the way to California if the round trip took 10 hours?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let d = one way distance to Calif
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a time equation, Time = dist/speed
\n" ); document.write( "To time + return time = 10 hrs
\n" ); document.write( " $\"d%2F55\"$ + $\"d%2F65\"$ = 10
\n" ); document.write( "multiply equation by (55*65), solve for d \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
