d = r*t\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "d = r*6\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "d = 6r\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "d = r*t\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "d = (r+2)*5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "d = 5r + 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6r = 5r + 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6r - 5r = 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "r = 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So his initial speed is 10 km/hr\r
\n" ); document.write( "
