Let outbound speed be S
\n" );
document.write( "Then return speed  = 1.2S
\n" );
document.write( "Then we get the following TIME equation: _______
\n" );
document.write( "12(2,500) + 10(2,500) = 110S -------- Multiplying by LCD, 12S
\n" );
document.write( "22(2,500) = 110S
\n" );
document.write( "S, or outbound speed =  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
