distance = x
\n" ); document.write( "Time to go there x/ 50
\n" ); document.write( "return time x/ 40
\n" ); document.write( "exrta time = 0.50 hour
\n" ); document.write( "x/ 40 - x/ 50 = 0.50
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "LCD = 7350 2000
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by LCD =
\n" ); document.write( "50 - 40 x 0.50 * 2000
\n" ); document.write( "10 x= 1000
\n" ); document.write( "/ 10
\n" ); document.write( "x= 100 miles
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
