Let \"+t+%5B1%5D+\" = time spent canoeing
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+t%5B2%5D+\" = time spent driving
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+s+\" = his speed driving
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t%5B1%5D+%2B+t%5B2%5D+=+2%2F%28+s+-+50+%29+%2B+1%2Fs+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(a)
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t+=+t%5B1%5D+%2B+t%5B2%5D+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t%28s%29++=+2%2F%28+s-50+%29+%2B+1%2Fs+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(b)
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+-+50+=+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+=+53+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t%28s%29++=+2%2F%28+53-50+%29+%2B+1%2F53+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t%28s%29+=+2%2F3+%2B+1%2F53+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t%28s%29+=+.6667+%2B+.01887+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t%28s%29+=+.68557+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.68557%2A60+=+41.134+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The trip will take 41.1 minutes\r
