Let distance be D
\n" );
document.write( "Then Leah’s speed is: , and May’s speed = , or D
\n" );
document.write( "We then the following SPEED equation: 
\n" );
document.write( "D = 3D - 30 ------- Multiplying by LCD, 3
\n" );
document.write( "D – 3D = - 30 
\n" );
document.write( "– 2D = - 30
\n" );
document.write( "D, or travel distance = , or  km \n" );
