Basic fact: \"highlight_green%28R%2AT=D%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let r be the speed of the goods train.
\n" ); document.write( "Let d be the distance that both trains travel in their known times. This is the same for both trains, allowing the equation of one variable only, as stated below the data table.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "_________________speed____________time________________distance
\n" ); document.write( "Goods_____________r________________5___________________d
\n" ); document.write( "Express__________r+20______________3___________________d\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Goods train: \"r%2A5=d\"
\n" ); document.write( "Express train: \"%28r%2B20%29%2A3=d\"
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28r%2A5=%28r%2B20%29%2A3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve this equation for r.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
