\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the normal speed, in .\r\n" );
document.write( "Then   =   is the time spent for the journey at the speed of x .\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Also,   =   is the time spent for the journey at the speed of (x+5) .\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "We are given that  -  = 2. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It gives an equation \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " -  = 2.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Solve it for x. The first step is to multiply both sides by x*(x+5).\r\n" );
