both ways the distance traveled is the same.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "time * speed forward = time * speed on return
\n" ); document.write( "let speed while going be x mph. time = 7 hours
\n" ); document.write( "return speed = x+12. time = 5 hours
\n" ); document.write( "7x=(x+12)*5
\n" ); document.write( "7x=5x+60
\n" ); document.write( "7x-5x=60
\n" ); document.write( "2x=60
\n" ); document.write( "x=30 mph speed forward
\n" ); document.write( "time = 7 hours
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 7*30 = 210 miles
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
