This
simulation models the following problem (from section 8.4): A bus drives
at 55 mph. One hour later, a car sets off to overtake the bus. If the car
drives at 75 mph, how long before the car overtakes the bus? Use
algebra to answer the question, and then run the simulation to see if you are
correct.
