Assuming your \"10 mmm\" is misprint for \"10 km\", this data table shows the information.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "_______________(km/hour)______(hours)__________(km)
\n" ); document.write( "ROAD___________rate___________time_____________distance
\n" ); document.write( "Gravel_________40_____________g________________40*g
\n" ); document.write( "City___________60_____________c________________60*c
\n" ); document.write( "Total_________________________2________________110\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Variables are assigned as g for travel time on gravel and c for travel time in the city.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Two equations come from the data:
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28g%2Bc=2%29\" and \"highlight%2840g%2B60c=110%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "WHAT TO DO:
\n" ); document.write( "Solve the system for g and c, and use pick the expression for the distance which you want computed and compute it. That would be the 60*c number.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
