Let time 2nd (faster) car takes to get to meetup point, be T 
\n" );
document.write( "Then time 1st (slower) car takes to get to meetup point = T + 4
\n" );
document.write( "We then get the following DISTANCE equation: 108T = 44(T + 4)
\n" );
document.write( "108T = 44T + 176
\n" );
document.write( "108T - 44T = 176
\n" );
document.write( "64T = 176
\n" );
document.write( "T, or time 2nd (faster) car takes to get to meetup point =  =  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
