\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "let x=normal speed
\n" ); document.write( "x+5=faster speed
\n" ); document.write( "Travel time=distance/speed
\n" ); document.write( "\"210%2Fx-210%2F%28x%2B5%29=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "lcd:x(x+5)
\n" ); document.write( "210x+1050-210x=x(x+5)=x^2+5x
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+5x-1050=0
\n" ); document.write( "(x+35)(x-30)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=-35(reject)

\n" ); document.write( "What is the normal speed? 30 km/hr
