You can put this solution on YOUR website!
distance = 500
\n" ); document.write( "speed be x kmph
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "time = 500/x
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "increase speed by 10 kmph
\n" ); document.write( "speed = x+10
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 600
\n" ); document.write( "time = 600/x+10
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "both times are equal
\n" ); document.write( "600/x+10=500/x
\n" ); document.write( "600x=500(x+10)
\n" ); document.write( "600x=500x+5000
\n" ); document.write( "600x-500x=5000
\n" ); document.write( "100x=5000
\n" ); document.write( "x= 50 kmph
\n" ); document.write( "..
