Christopher ran m miles at r miles per hour and arrived on time.
\n" ); document.write( "time = \"m%2Fr\"
\n" ); document.write( " Then the distance was increased 7 miles.
\n" ); document.write( "(m+7)
\n" ); document.write( " How fast did he have to run to travel the new distance in the same amount of time?
\n" ); document.write( "let s = the increase in speed required to do this
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%28m%2B7%29%29%2F%28%28r%2Bs%29%29\" = \"m%2Fr\"
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "m(r+s) = r(m+7)
\n" ); document.write( "distribute
\n" ); document.write( "mr + ms = mr + 7r
\n" ); document.write( "subtract mr from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "ms = 7r
\n" ); document.write( "s = \"%287r%29%2Fm\" mph the increase in speed
\n" ); document.write( "\"How fast to run to travel the new distance in the same amount of time?
\n" ); document.write( "r + \"%287r%29%2Fm\" mph is the required speed
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
