distance = x
\n" ); document.write( "Time downhill x/ 20
\n" ); document.write( "Time uphill x/ 12
\n" ); document.write( "extra time while uphill = 2.00 hour
\n" ); document.write( "x/ 12 - x/ 20 = 2.00
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "LCD = 7350 240
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by LCD
\n" ); document.write( "20 - 12 x = 2.00 * 240
\n" ); document.write( "8 x= 480
\n" ); document.write( "/ 8
\n" ); document.write( "x= 60 niles\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Time uphill = 60/12=5 hours
