Let \"r\" = child’s rate on still sidewalk
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"s\" = rate of the moving sidewalk
\n" ); document.write( "————————————————————-
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+r+-+s+=+77%2F11+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+r+%2B+s+=+225%2F15+\"
\n" ); document.write( "————————————-
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+r+-+s+=+7+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+r+%2B+s+=+15+\"
\n" ); document.write( "——————————-
\n" ); document.write( "Add the equations
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2r+=+22+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+r+=+11+\"
\n" ); document.write( "And
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+11+%2B+s+=+15+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+s+=+4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "———————————
\n" ); document.write( "Rate of child on still sidewalk
\n" ); document.write( "11 ft/sec
\n" ); document.write( "Rate of moving sidewalk
\n" ); document.write( "4 ft/sec\r
