let Marnie's speed be x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the distance he travels when they meet is y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y/x=7
\n" ); document.write( "y=7x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Leslie would have driven 826-y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "speed = x+18\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(826-y)/(x+18) =7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "substitute y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(826-7x)/(x+18)=7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "826-7x=7(x+18)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "826-7x =7x+126\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7x+7x=826-126
\n" ); document.write( "14x=700
\n" ); document.write( "/56
\n" ); document.write( "x=50\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Marnie's speed = 50 km/h\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Leslie's speed = 50 +!8 = 68 km/h\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
