\n" ); document.write( "Let x be Perry's speed
\n" ); document.write( "Then x-6 is Jaidee's speed

\n" ); document.write( "Perry driving for 2 hours in one direction, plus Jaidee driving 1 hour in the opposite direction, makes the distance between them 174 miles:

\n" ); document.write( "\"2%28x%29%2B1%28x-6%29+=+174\"

\n" ); document.write( "Solve using basic algebra.
