\n" ); document.write( "John drove 8 hours are some rate x; Jim drove 10 hours at a rate (x+5).
\n" ); document.write( "The distance John drove is 8(x); the distance Jim drove is 10(x+5).
\n" ); document.write( "The total distance the two drove is 1850.

\n" ); document.write( "Basic algebra -- write and solve the equation that says the distance driven by John, plus the distance driven by Jim, equals 1850.
