Add their rates of copying
\n" ); document.write( "In words:
\n" ); document.write( "( 1 copy / 8 min ) + (1 copy / 10 min) = (1 copy / x min )
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1%2F8+%2B+1%2F10+=+1%2Fx+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by the LCD, \"40x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x+%2B+4x+=+40\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"9x+=+40\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+40%2F9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+4.444\" min
\n" ); document.write( "or about 4 min 27 sec
\n" ); document.write( "check answer:
