You can put this solution on YOUR website!
d = r*t is the basic distance equation
\n" ); document.write( "d = distance
\n" ); document.write( "r = rate
\n" ); document.write( "t = time
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "d going there = d coming back
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "t = time coming back
\n" ); document.write( "t-1 = time going there
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "220(t-1) = 200*t
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "220t -220 = 200t
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "20t = 220
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "t = 11 hr
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Check the distances to be sure this is the answer.
\n" ); document.write( "220(11-1) = 220*10 = 2200
\n" ); document.write( "200(11) = 2200
\n" ); document.write( "Correct.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
