Time spent going up hill=x
\n" ); document.write( "time spent coming down =(6-x)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Distances are the same. Velocity1 *time1=velocity2*time2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1.5x=4.5(6-x)
\n" ); document.write( "1.5x=27-4.5x
\n" ); document.write( "6x=27
\n" ); document.write( "x=4.5 hours\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6-x=1.5 hours\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "distance 1 =4.5*1.5=6.75
\n" ); document.write( "distance 2= 1.5 *4.5=6.75
\n" ); document.write( "total 13.5 miles\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* = multiply. We use that because x is a variable and x x y is not clear, whereas x*y is\r
