\n" ); document.write( "
Let Luis’ speed be S
\n" ); document.write( "Then Rico’s speed = 2S
\n" ); document.write( "We then get the following time equation: \"88%2FS+=+88%2F%282S%29+%2B+2\"
\n" ); document.write( "176 = 88 + 2(2S) ------- Multiplying by LCD, 2S
\n" ); document.write( "176 = 88 + 4S
\n" ); document.write( "176 – 88 = 4S
\n" ); document.write( "88 = 4S
\n" ); document.write( "S, or Luis’ speed = \"88%2F4\", or \"highlight_green%2822%29\" mph \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
