You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are adding rate:
\n" ); document.write( "(1 tub filled w/cold faucet)/(min to fill tub) + (1 tub filled w/hot faucet)/ (min to fill tub) = (1 tub filled)/(x min with both faucets open)
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F10+%2B+1%2F12+=+1%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"60x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6x+%2B+5x+=+60\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"11x+=+60\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+60%2F11\" min
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
