Using the description as written, trip distance 300 km, unknown bus trip speed r
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "                        SPEED         TIME         DISTANCE\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Trip taken                  r           300/r         300\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "If this higher speed        10         300/10=30      300\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Difference                               1\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( " $\"300%2Fr-30=1\"$ , time difference equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"300%2Fr=31\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"r=300%2F31\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"r=9%2621%2F31\"$ ----------bus speed used for the trip, not much different than the one taken. This is a very slow trip. Maybe recheck your problem description. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
