You can put this solution on YOUR website!
t = d / r ___ the upstream time is 1/3 h (20 min) longer\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5 / (b - 4) = [5 / (b + 4)] + (1/3)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiplying by 3(b-4)(b+4) ___ 15b + 60 = 15b - 60 + b^2 - 16\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b^2 - 136 = 0\r
