You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I don't know how to draw the diagram, but you could use a simple line with car X's arrow headed one way and car Y's headed the other.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "If they travel 206 miles in 2 hours, they travel 103 miles in 1 hour.
\n" ); document.write( "Any combination that equals 103 will be correct.
\n" ); document.write( "2X + 2Y = 206, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "X + Y = 103
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "If X is 50, then Y is 53
\n" ); document.write( "If X is 1, then Y is 102 (and Y had better slow down!)
\n" ); document.write( "If Y is 60, then X is 43
\n" ); document.write( "etc, etc etc
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "You can set up an equation, but cannot solve this without more information.
