t = d / r ___ the total time is 2 hr and the total distance is 25 mi\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2 = (x / 45) + [(25 - x) / 6]\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiplying by 90 (LCD) ___ 180 = 2x + 375 - 15x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-195 = -13x
