Let \"+d+\" = the distance between the cities
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+r%5B1%5D+\" = the rate of the Karnataka Express
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+r%5B2%5D+\" = the rate of the Kurla express
\n" ); document.write( "How much of a head start does the Karnataka Express have?
\n" ); document.write( "from 5 PM to 7 PM
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5Bh%5D+=+r%5B1%5D%2A2+\" ( any units for d[h] )
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+r%5B1%5D+=+d%2F4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+r%5B2%5D+=+d%2F3.5+\" ( any units for d - same as d[h] )
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Start a stopwatch when the Kurla Express leaves. They will both
\n" ); document.write( "travel for the same time, \"+t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Think of one train as standing still, and the other approaching
\n" ); document.write( "at the sum of their speeds. The moving train must cover
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d+-+2r%5B1%5D++=+d+-+2%2A%28d%2F4%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of their speeds is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%2F4+%2B+d%2F3.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2%2A%28+d%2F4+%29+=+%28+d%2F4+%2B+d%2F3.5+%29%2At+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%2F2+=+d%2A%28+1%2F4+%2B+1%2F3.5+%29%2At+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by \"+d+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1%2F2+=+%28+1%2F4+%2B+2%2F7+%29%2At+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"+28+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+14+=+%28+7+%2B+8+%29%2At+\"
