Let \"+d+\" = distance traveled on the winding road
\n" ); document.write( "\"+384+-+d+\" = distance traveled on level road
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+s+\" = the average speed on the winding road
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+%2B+20+\" = the average speed on the level road
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation for winding road:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+d+=+s%2A2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Equation for level road:
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+384+-+d+=+%28+s+%2B+20+%29%2A6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+384+-+d+=+6s+%2B+120+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Plug (1) into (2)
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+384+-+2s+=+6s+%2B+120+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+8s+=+264+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+s+=+33+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+s+%2B+20+=+53+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The speed on level road was 53 mi/hr
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+d+=+2%2A33+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+d+=+66+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+384+-+d+=+%28+s+%2B+20+%29%2A6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+384+-+d+=+6s+%2B+120+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+384+-+d+=+6%2A33+%2B+120+\"
