Outside of town:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 2
\n" ); document.write( "time = t
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 2t
\n" ); document.write( "Into town:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 8
\n" ); document.write( "time = t - 2.5
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 8t - 20
\n" ); document.write( "The distances were equal ...
\n" ); document.write( "2t = 8t - 20
\n" ); document.write( "20 = 6t
\n" ); document.write( "10/3 = t
\n" ); document.write( "t - 2.5 = 5/6
\n" ); document.write( "TOTAL TIME = 10/3 + 5/6 = 20/6 + 5/6 = 25/6
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
