$\"285%2Fx+=+260%2F%28x-5%29\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"285%28x-5%29+=+260x\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"285x+-+1425+=+260x\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"25x+=+1425\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( "x = 57 miles per hour, speed of the faster car.
\n" ); document.write( "x - 5 = 52 miles per hour, the speed of the slower car. \n" ); document.write( "
