\n" ); document.write( "May bike DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = (x + 10) km/hr ; time = 1 hr ; distance = r*t = x+10 km
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Leah walk DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = x km/hr ; time = 3 hr ; distance = r*t = 3x km

\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "dist = dist
\n" ); document.write( "3x = x+10
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5 km/hr (May's rate)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "x + 10 = 15 km/hr (Leah's walk)
