Same problem, different numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "==========================
\n" ); document.write( "A car travels 380 miles averaging a certain speed. If the car had gone 5 mph faster the trip would have take 1 hour less. What was the average speed?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "d = r*t
\n" ); document.write( "t = d/r
\n" ); document.write( "t = 380/r
\n" ); document.write( "t-1 = 380/(r+5)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "380/r - 1 = 380/(r+5)
\n" ); document.write( "(380 - r)/r = 380/(r+5)
\n" ); document.write( "(380 - r)*(r+5) = 380r
\n" ); document.write( "(r-380)*(r+5) = -380r
\n" ); document.write( "r^2 + 5r - 1900 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
