\n" ); document.write( "1st car DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate:: 10 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = 10x miles
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "2nd car DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 60 mph ; tme = x-10 hrs ; distance = 60x-600 miles
\n" ); document.write( "======================
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = distance
\n" ); document.write( "10x = 60x-600
\n" ); document.write( "50x = 600
\n" ); document.write( "x = 120 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "How far???
\n" ); document.write( "distance to meeting point = 10x = 1200 miles
