document.write( "Let x and (x+1)represent the times 90mph & 75mph train travel before they meet
\n" );
document.write( "Note: D = r*t and distance traveled the same by both trains
\n" );
document.write( "  90x = 75(x+1)
\n" );
document.write( "  15x = 75
\n" );
document.write( "    x = 5hr, time 90mph(passenger train) travels before they meet \r
