\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Slower person DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 75 mph ; time = t hrs. ; distance = rt = 75t miles
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Faster person DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 80 mph ; time = t hrs. ; distance = rt = 80t miles
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "faster distance - slower distance = 5 miles
\n" ); document.write( "80t-75t = 5
\n" ); document.write( "5t = 5
\n" ); document.write( "t = 1 hr.
