Algebra Road Block...
The 100m dash can be run by the best sprinters in 10 seconds. A 66-kg sprinter accelerates uniformly for the first 45m to reach top speed, which he maintains for the remaining 55 meters. a) What is the avg horizontal component of force exerted on his feet by the ground during acceleration? b) What is the speed of the sprinter over the last 55m of the race (ie., his top speed)?

How did they get t1 on the 3rd line?
t1 = 20d1 / (d2 + 2d1)
I am just NOT seeing it...
Thanks in advance! :)
