\n" ); document.write( "rate = 60 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = 60x miles
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "2nd brother DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 40 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = 40x miles
\n" ); document.write( "=====
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "dist + dist = 200 miles
\n" ); document.write( "60x + 40x = 200
\n" ); document.write( "100x = 200
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "They meet at 11:00 am
