document.write( "Let \"x\" be  the time she will spend biking (in hours).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the time running is (x+2) hours.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The distance running is  6*(x+2)  (speed times time).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The distance biking  is  22*x     (speed times time).\r\n" );
