\n" );
document.write( "1/m+1/n = 1/t solve for t
\n" );
document.write( "Mulitply each term on both sides of the equation by mnt to clear the denominators
\n" );
document.write( "nt + mt = mn
\n" );
document.write( "t(n+m) = mn
\n" );
document.write( "t = mn/(n+m)
\n" );
document.write( ".
\n" );
document.write( "If we were to be solving for m, we would isolate m on one side of the equation
\n" );
document.write( "nt + mt = mn
\n" );
document.write( "mt- mn = -nt
\n" );
document.write( "m(t -n) = -nt
\n" );
document.write( "m = -nt/(t-n)  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
