C 40=RT OR T=40/R
\n" ); document.write( "P 15=(R-20)T OR T=15/(R-20)
\n" ); document.write( "40/R=15/(R-20)
\n" ); document.write( "15R=40(R-20
\n" ); document.write( "15R=405-800
\n" ); document.write( "15R-40R=-800
\n" ); document.write( "-25R=-800
\n" ); document.write( "R=-800/-25
\n" ); document.write( "R=32 MPH FOR CARLOS' SPEED.
\n" ); document.write( "32-20=12 MPH FOR PAUL.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "40/32=15/12
