Freight train x ---360 miles
\n" ); document.write( "Express x+20--- 600 miles
\n" ); document.write( "360/x=600/(x+20)
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "360(x+20 )=600* x
\n" ); document.write( "360x+7200=600x
\n" ); document.write( "600x-360 x=7200
\n" ); document.write( "240x=7200
\n" ); document.write( "/240
\n" ); document.write( "x=30 mph Freight train
\n" ); document.write( "50 mph Express \r
