Perry left school driving towards the lake one hour before Jaidee. Jaidee drove in the opposite direction going 6 mph slower than Perry for one hour after which time they were 174mi. apart. What was Parry's speed?
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Perry DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "time = 2 hrs ; rate = r mph ; distance = r*t = 2r miles
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Jaidee DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "time = 1 hr ; rate = r-6 mph ; distance = r-6 miles
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "distance + distance = 174 miles
\n" ); document.write( "2r + r-6 = 174
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "3r - 6 = 174
\n" ); document.write( "3r = 180
\n" ); document.write( "r = 60 mph (Perry's rate)
\n" ); document.write( "r-6 = 54 mph (Jaidee's rate)\r
