Let distance from Jamaica to Parkchester be D
\n" );
document.write( "At 20 mph, its time to Parkchester = 
\n" );
document.write( "At 10 mph, its time to Parkchester = 
\n" );
document.write( "With difference in times being 1 hour, we get: 
\n" );
document.write( "D + 20 = 2D ------- Multiplying by LCD, 20
\n" );
document.write( "2D - D = 20
\n" );
document.write( "D, or distance =  miles  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
