\n" ); document.write( "A train and a plane both leave at the same time
\n" ); document.write( "As opposed to just one of them leaving at the same time?
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "p = plane's speed
\n" ); document.write( "s = train's speed
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "p = 3s
\n" ); document.write( "360/p = 360/s - 4
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "360/3s = 360/s - 4
\n" ); document.write( "120/s = 360/s - 4
\n" ); document.write( "120 = 360 - 4s
