RT=D using rate miles per hour.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "r for the jackel's speed;
\n" ); document.write( "The elk's speed is r+10;
\n" ); document.write( "The cheetah's speed is 2r.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Everybody is moving for 1 hour. Sum of their distances , 150 miles.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282r%2B%28r%2B10%29%2Br%29%2A1=150\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4r%2B10=150\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4r=140\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r=140%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28r=35%29\" the JACKEL.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That value means, the cheetah goes 70 mph and elk goes 45 mph.
