\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Monday DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "time = 35/60 hr ; rate = x mph ; distance = 35x/60 miles
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Friday DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "time = 18/60 hr ; rate = x+9 mph ; distance = rt = (x+9)(18/60) miles
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = distance
\n" ); document.write( "35x/60 = (x+9)(18/60)
\n" ); document.write( "35x = 18x + 9*18
\n" ); document.write( "7x = 9*18
\n" ); document.write( "x = 23.142857
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Distance = 35*23.142857/60 = 13.5 miles
