\r\n" );
document.write( "Let V be the speed of the van, in miles per hour.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the speed of the trolley is (V-8) mph.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The condition says \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " = .\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Both sides are the travel times.\r\n" );
document.write( "Indeed, the Left side is the travel time for the van, while the right side is the travel time for the trolley.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From the equation,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "95*(V-8) = 75*V.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "At this point I leave you to solve the equation and to complete the assignment on your own.\r\n" );
