first part 40 mph
\n" ); document.write( "second part 35 mph\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "total distance = 265 miles\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let first part distance be x
\n" ); document.write( "second part distance = 265-x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "first part time + second part time = 7 hours
\n" ); document.write( "t=d/r
\n" ); document.write( "x/40 + (265-x)/35 =7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply equation by 35*40=1400 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "35 x + 40 (265-x) = 7*1400
\n" ); document.write( "35x+10600-40x=9800
\n" ); document.write( "-5x=-800
\n" ); document.write( "/-5
\n" ); document.write( "x=160 miles First part
\n" ); document.write( "balance 265-160= 105 miles second part\r
\n" ); document.write( "
