\r\n" );
document.write( "Let the slower train's speed be x km/h\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the faster train's speed is x+11 km/h\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore their speed of approach is the sum of their speeds\r\n" );
document.write( "or (x)+(x+11) or (2x+11) km/h.\r\n" );
