\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let time he drove at 40 mph be T
\n" ); document.write( "Then time he drove at 35 mph = 7 – T\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Distance at 40 mph + distance at 35 mph = total distance\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, 40(T) + 35(7 – T) = 265
\n" ); document.write( "40T + 245 – 35T = 265
\n" ); document.write( "5T = 20\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "T, or time he drove at 40 mph = \"20%2F5\", or \"highlight_green%284%29\" hours\r
