There was another one like this earlier, and the time information was lacking. This one here is better.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let r = speed of the slower car. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Car ------Speed, km/h-------Time, hours----------Distance, km
\n" ); document.write( "Fast car___r+7______________2____________________\"%28r%2B7%29%2A2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Slow car____r ______________2 ___________________\"r%2A2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The cars start 300 km apart and move toward each other, so sum of all lengths or distances must be 300.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28r%2B7%29%2A2%2B34%2Br%2A2=300\"
\n" ); document.write( "Find r.
\n" ); document.write( "Compute r+7.
