\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "d = r*t
\n" ); document.write( "t = d/r
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "h = distance on highway
\n" ); document.write( "5 = h/55 + (265-h)/35
\n" ); document.write( "1925 = 7h + 11*(265-h) = -4h + 2915
\n" ); document.write( "4h = 990
\n" ); document.write( "h = 247.5 miles on the highway
\n" ); document.write( "--> 17.5 miles in town
\n" ); document.write( "==============
\n" ); document.write( "17.5/35 = 0.5 hours in town
\n" ); document.write( "
