D=RT
\n" ); document.write( "300=RT FOR THE TRAIN
\n" ); document.write( "OR: T=300/R
\n" ); document.write( "800=(3R-20)T FOR THE PLANE
\n" ); document.write( "OR: T=800/(3R-20)
\n" ); document.write( "BECAUSE THE TIMES ARE EQUAL WE HAVE:
\n" ); document.write( "300/R=800/(3R-20)
\n" ); document.write( "800R=300(3R-20)
\n" ); document.write( "800R=900R-6,000
\n" ); document.write( "800R-900R=-6,000
\n" ); document.write( "-100R=-6,000
\n" ); document.write( "R=-6,000/-100
\n" ); document.write( "R=60 KMH FOR THE TRAIN.
\n" ); document.write( "3*60-20=180-20=160KMH FOR THE PLANE.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "300/60=800/160
