\n" ); document.write( "Julio DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 55 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = 55x miles
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Jasmine DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 65 mph ; time = x-4 hrs ; distance = 65(x-4) miles
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "55x + 65(x-4) = 340 miles
\n" ); document.write( "55x + 65x - 260 = 340 miles
\n" ); document.write( "120x = 600
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5 hr
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Jasmine time = x-4 = 5-4 = 1 hr.
