let brother's speed be xmph
\n" ); document.write( "Ortiz's speed = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "Distance / speed = time
\n" ); document.write( "Distance = 350 miles
\n" ); document.write( "brother takes 350/x hours
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "Ortiz takes 350/2x hours
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "350/x-350/2x = 5
\n" ); document.write( "LCM =2x
\n" ); document.write( "700-350 / 2x = 5
\n" ); document.write( "350=2x*5
\n" ); document.write( "350=10x
\n" ); document.write( "x=35 brother's speed
\n" ); document.write( "Ortiz's speed = 2x = 2*35=70mph
\n" ); document.write( "
