SPEED OF CAR BE X MPH
\n" ); document.write( "TRAIN = X+30 MPH..
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "train distance = 120 miles
\n" ); document.write( "car distance = 80 miles
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "\"time+=+distance+%2F+speed\"
\n" ); document.write( "\..
\n" ); document.write( "train time = car time
\n" ); document.write( "\"120%2F%28x%2B30%29+=+80+%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "multiply the equation by x*(x+30)
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "120x= 80(x+30)
\n" ); document.write( "120x=80x+2400
\n" ); document.write( "-80x
\n" ); document.write( "120x-80x=2400
\n" ); document.write( "40x=2400
\n" ); document.write( "/40
\n" ); document.write( "x= 2400/40
\n" ); document.write( "x= 60 mph speed of car
\n" ); document.write( "speed of train = x+30 = 60+30 = 90 mph
