If the race was 300 miles, it's midway point would be at 150 miles. So:
\n" ); document.write( "150+n-20=150-n
\n" ); document.write( "2n=20
\n" ); document.write( "n=10
\n" ); document.write( "When Dixon had gone 160 miles, he was only 140 away from the finish, which would be 20 closer than where he started. ☺☺☺☺
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
