Try putting all values into variables. You already know the travel rates formula.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "TRAIN        RATE        TIME      DISTANCE\r\n" );
document.write( "T             r          t+h        d\r\n" );
document.write( "G             R           t         d\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"system%28r=50%2CR=60%2Ch=1%2F3%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "Solve for t and d.\r\n" );
document.write( "
\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "USE THE TRAVEL RATE FORMULA TO MAKE A SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS.
\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28r%28t%2Bh%29=d%2CRt=d%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "SOLVE FOR t AND d. You should find formulas for each.
