You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Add the separate rate of painting
\n" ); document.write( " houses/hour ( for you ) + houses/hour ( for me ) = houses / hour ( together )
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"t\" = time to paint house working together
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1%2F4+%2B+1%2F6+=+1%2Ft+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"12t\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3t+%2B+2t+=+12+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5t+=+12+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t+=+2.4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Note that \"+.4+%2A+60+=+24+\" minutes
\n" ); document.write( "It will take 2 hours and 24 minutes working together
\n" ); document.write( "
