You can think of this as one truck standing still
\n" ); document.write( "and the other traveling away at the sum of their speeds
\n" ); document.write( "Let the speed of the slower truck = \"+s+\" mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "Let the speed of the faster truck = \"+s+%2B+3+\" mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "The equation for the moving truck is
\n" ); document.write( "\"+206+=+%28s+%2B+s+%2B+3+%29%2A2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+206+=+4s+%2B+6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4s+=+200+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+=+50+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+%2B+3+=+53+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The speeds of the trucks are 50 and 53 mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
