\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "1st leg DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 5 mph ; time = t hrs ; distance = r*t = 5t miles
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "2nd leg DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 6 mph ; time = 0.7-t hrs ; distance = 6(0.7-t) = 4.2-6t miles
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "dist + dist = 4 miles
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "5t + 4.2-6t = 4 miles
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "-t = -0.2
\n" ); document.write( "time = 0.2 hrs = 12 minutes (time jogged at 5 mph)
\n" ); document.write( "0.7-t = 0.5 hrs = 30 minutes (time jogged at 6 mph)
