V1=V2+15
\n" ); document.write( "t1=350/V1=350/(V2+15)
\n" ); document.write( "t2=350/V2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t1+3=t2
\n" ); document.write( "350/(V2+15)+3=350/V2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiplying everything by (V2+15)V2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "350V2+3V2^2+45V2=350V2+5250
\n" ); document.write( "3V2^2+45V2^2-5250=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solution is : V2=35mph\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "V1=35+15=50mph\r
