Let \"+s+\" = his normal speed in km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+d+\" = distance from A to B in km
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Traveling at normal speed:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+d+=+s%2A5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Traveling at faster speed:
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+d+=+%28+s+%2B+4+%29%2A%28+5+-+.5+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+d+=+%28+s+%2B+4+%29%2A4.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+d+=+4.5s+%2B+18+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute (1) into (2)
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+5s+=+4.5s+%2B+18+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+.5s+=+18+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+s+=+36+\"
\n" ); document.write( "His normal speed is 36 km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+d+=+s%2A5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+d+=+36%2A5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+d+=+180+\" km
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+d+=+%28+s+%2B+4+%29%2A4.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+d+=+40%2A4.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+d+=+180+\" km
