(20+X)T=25
\n" ); document.write( "XT=5 OR T=5/X NOW SUBSTITUTE 5/X FOR T IN THE FIRST EQUATION.
\n" ); document.write( "(20+X)5/X)=25
\n" ); document.write( "(100+5X)/X=25 NOW CROSS MULTIPLY.
\n" ); document.write( "25X=100+5X
\n" ); document.write( "25X-5X=100
\n" ); document.write( "20X=100
\n" ); document.write( "X=100/20
\n" ); document.write( "X=5 MPH FOR THE CAT 20+5=25 MPH FOR THE HORSE,
\n" ); document.write( "(20+5)T=25
\n" ); document.write( "25T=25
\n" ); document.write( "T=25/25
\n" ); document.write( "T=1 HOUR IS THE TIME OF THE TRIP.\r
