Let the time taken to complete the second leg, be T
\n" ); document.write( "Then the time taken to complete the first leg = T - 1
\n" ); document.write( "We then get the following SPEED equation: \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+480%2FT%2C+%22=%22%2C+560%2F%28T+%2B+1%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"matrix%281%2C3%2C+6%2FT%2C+%22=%22%2C+7%2F%28T+%2B+1%29%29\" ----- Factoring out GCF, 80, in numerator
\n" ); document.write( "7T = 6(T + 1) ------ Cross-multiplying
\n" ); document.write( "7T = 6T + 6
\n" ); document.write( "7T - 6T = 6
\n" ); document.write( "Time taken to complete second leg, or \n" ); document.write( "
