100/50=100/x+1/3
\n" ); document.write( "100/x=100/50-1/3
\n" ); document.write( "100/x=2-1/3
\n" ); document.write( "100/x=5/3 cross multiply.
\n" ); document.write( "5x=300
\n" ); document.write( "x=300/5
\n" ); document.write( "x=60 mph would get the train there on time.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "20*16=320 ft^2 is the area of the room.
\n" ); document.write( "area of the carpet:
\n" ); document.write( "(20-3*2)(16-3*2) each dimension has 2 3 feet wide edges.
\n" ); document.write( "(20-6)(16-6)=14*10=140 ft^2 is the area of the carpet.
\n" ); document.write( "320-140=180 ft^2 is the area of the margin.
\n" ); document.write( "
