\n" ); document.write( "Two cars leave towns D kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One cars rate is k kilometers per hour less than the others . If they meet t hours what is the rate of the slower car?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The two speeds are r and r+k.
\n" ); document.write( "r+k is the faster car speed, and r is the slow car speed.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The two cars moving toward each other are consuming the D distance until they meet.\r
