You can put this solution on YOUR website! CAR__________speed___________time____________distance
FAST__________Rf_______________6______________294+66=362
SLOW___________Rs______________6________________294
If you could take the lower case letter as a subscript, then R, upper case is to mean speed or rate.
R*t=d, the uniform rate equation for distance, t is time, d distance.
