Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "In one day Liam traveled five times the sum
\n" ); document.write( "of the number of hours Sydney traveled and two.
\n" ); document.write( "Sydney travelled = x
\n" ); document.write( "Liam travelled = 5x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "Total hours travelled = 20 hours
\n" ); document.write( "x + (5x + 2) = 20
\n" ); document.write( "x + 5x + 2 = 20
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 20 - 2
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 18
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Sydney travelled for 3 hours
\n" ); document.write( "Liam travelled for 17 hours.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helped :-)
\n" ); document.write( "
