200/x=200/(x+10) +1
\n" ); document.write( "200(x+10)=200x+x(x+10)
\n" ); document.write( "200x+2000=200x+x2+10x
\n" ); document.write( "x2+10x-2000=0
\n" ); document.write( "(x+ 50)(x-40)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=40 or -50
\n" ); document.write( "Throwing out the negative answer, we get Steve's speed to be 40 mph..
\n" ); document.write( "
