document.write( "Let x = Corey's speed in mph. Then Paul's speed is (x+7) mph. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then you have the \"distance\" equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "6x + 6(x+7) = 138.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Solve it for x.\r\n" );
