r*t=d\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Brenda __ r*t=30 __ t=30/r\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Randy __ (r+5)(t+1)=60 __ substituting __ (r+5)((30/r)+1)=60 __ multiplying by r __ (r+5)(30+r)=60r\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "FOILing __ r^2+35r+150=60r __ subtracting 60r __ r^2-25r+150=0 __ factoring __ (r-15)(r-10)=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "r-15=0 __ r=15\r
