\n" );
document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "*Note: distance = rate*time
\n" );
document.write( "If h represents the number of hours the bus travels
\n" );
document.write( "question states:
\n" );
document.write( "bus leaves 2 hours before the car does. therefore # hours the car travels is(h-2)
\n" );
document.write( "car travels at 70 mph.  70(h-2) represents the number of miles the car travels \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
