You can put this solution on YOUR website!
how about D/R=T ___ the times are the same\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4/(s + c) = 3/(s - c) ___ c = .5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"cross\" multiplying ___ 4s - 2 = 3s + 1.5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "s = 3.5
