document.write( "Let \"t\" be the time traveled by the train.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the time traveled by the bus was (6-t) hours.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Next, you write the total distance equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    70t + 60*(6-t) = 395.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Finally, you solve this equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    t =  = 3.5.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
