document.write( "Question 1011247: Two buses left town A for town B at the same time. The speed of one of the buses was 10 mph greater than the speed of the other bus. In 3 (1/2) hours one bus reached town B, while the other bus was away from town B at a distance equal (1/6) of the distance between A and B. Find the speed of the buses and the distance between A and B.
