Let average speed going be S
\n" );
document.write( "Then average return-speed = S - 14
\n" );
document.write( "We then get the following TIME equation: 
\n" );
document.write( " ------ Reducing fractions by factoring out GCF, 11, in numerator
\n" );
document.write( "24(S - 14) + 24S = S(S - 14) ------ Multiplying by LCD, S(S - 14)
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "0 = (S - 56)(S - 6)
\n" );
document.write( "S, or       OR          S = 6 mph (ignore) 
\n" );
document.write( "             
\n" );
document.write( "It's as easy as A-B-C! \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
