One of the keys is , \"While the faster,... the second...\". The amount of time is the same time interval. Call the time quantity, x hours.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CAR_________RATE_________TIME__________DISTANCE
\n" ); document.write( "Slow________r____________x_____________60
\n" ); document.write( "Fast_______r+40__________x_____________70\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Make expressions for x for each car using r*t=d:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CAR_________RATE_________TIME__________DISTANCE
\n" ); document.write( "Slow________r____________60/r_____________60
\n" ); document.write( "Fast_______r+40__________70/(r+40)_____________70\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The time quantities being equal, we just show the equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"60%2Fr=70%2F%28r%2B40%29\" and solve for r.
\n" ); document.write( "... and of course, r+40.
