\n" ); document.write( "
Let the time the car takes to overtake the truck be T
\n" );
document.write( "Then we get the following DISTANCE equation: \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+73T%2C+%22=%22%2C+60%28T+%2B+8%2F60%29%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "73T = 60T + 8 ---- Distributing right-side
\n" );
document.write( "73T - 60T = 8
\n" );
document.write( "13T = 8
\n" );
document.write( "T, or \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C6%2C+Time%2C+car%2C+takes%2C+%22=%22%2C+8%2F13%2C+hour%29%29\" \n" );
