\n" ); document.write( "Justin can run 10 km in the same amount of time that Leo can run 12 km. If Leo can run 1 kph faster than Justin, how fast can Leo run?
\n" ); document.write( "

Let Leo's speed be S
\n" );
document.write( "Then Justin's is: S - 1
\n" );
document.write( "We then get the following TIME equation: 
\n" );
document.write( " ----- Factoring out GCF, 2, in NUMERATORS
\n" );
document.write( "5S = 6S - 6 ----- Cross-multiplying
\n" );
document.write( "5S - 6S = - 6
\n" );
document.write( "- S = - 6
\n" );
document.write( "Leo's speed, or  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
