What you want is- if you know Mark's height,
\n" ); document.write( "you can find Debbie's height and vice versa
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+t+\" = time in minutes starting when Mark is at
\n" ); document.write( "12,000 ft and Debbie is at 6,000 ft
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Mark's equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+h%5Bm%5D+=+12000+-+250t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Debbie's equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+h%5Bd%5D+=+6000+%2B+60t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+Let+%7B%7B%7B+D+=+h%5Bm%5D+-+h%5Bd%5D+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+D+=+12000+-+250t+-+%28+6000+%2B+60t+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+D+=+12000+-+250t+-+6000+-+60t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+D+=+6000+-+310t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "If you know one of their heights, you can find the other\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
