A man rides a bus part of the way to work and walk the rest. the bus speed is 36mph and he walks 4mph the distance from home is 15 mi total time is 2 hr.
\n" ); document.write( "how far does he walk and how far does he ride
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "d = r*t
\n" ); document.write( "t = d/r
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "b = bus distance
\n" ); document.write( "w = walking distance
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "b/36 + w/4 = 2 Eqn 1
\n" ); document.write( "b + w = 15 Eqn 2
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "b + 9w = 72 (Eqn 1*36)
\n" ); document.write( "b + w = 15
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------- subtract
\n" ); document.write( "8w = 57
\n" ); document.write( "w = 57/8
\n" ); document.write( "etc
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
