Let \"+s+\" = the speed of the bus in km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+%2B+40+\" = the speed of the police car in km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+t\" = time in hrs for both
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "For police car:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+5+=+%28+s+%2B+40+%29%2At+\"
\n" ); document.write( "For bus:
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+3+=+s%2At+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+t+=+3%2Fs+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+5+=+%28+s+%2B+40+%29%2A%283%2Fs%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+5s+=+3%2A%28+s+%2B+40+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+5s+=+3s+%2B+120+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+2s+=+120+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+s+=+60+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+%2B+40+=+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The speed of the bus is 60 km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "The speed of the police car is 100 km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------
