Think of this as one biker standing still and
\n" ); document.write( "the other traveling at the sum of their speeds
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+s+\" = the speed of the slower biker in mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2s+\" = the speed of the faster biker in mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+210+=+%28+s+%2B+2s+%29%2A5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+210+=+3s%2A5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+210+=+15s+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+=+14+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2s+=+28+\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Their speeds are 14 mi/hr and 28 mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B1%5D+=+14%2A5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B1%5D+=+70+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B2%5D+=+28%2A5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B2%5D+=+140+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B1%5D+%2B+d%5B2%5D+=+70+%2B+140+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+d%5B1%5Dm+%2B+d%5B2%5D+=+210+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
