Algebra.Com's Answer #35129 by Paul(988) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First set up the equation: \n" ); document.write( "Speed=distance/time so time =distance/speed \n" ); document.write( "Let x represent the time: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "so: \n" ); document.write( "6+6=10x \n" ); document.write( "x=1.2 \n" ); document.write( "Hence, the total time was 1.2hours. \n" ); document.write( "Paul. \n" ); document.write( " |
