You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Julio's time = x-10
\n" ); document.write( "Dan's time = x
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2Fx%2B1%2F%28x-10%29=1%2F12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-10%2Bx=%28%28x%29%28x-10%29%29%2F12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-10=%28x%5E2-10x%29%2F12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"24x-120=x%5E2-10x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-34x%2B120=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Factor:
\n" ); document.write( "x=4 and x=30
\n" ); document.write( "reject x=4
\n" ); document.write( "30-10=20
\n" ); document.write( "Hence, one person can do a job in 30 minutes and another person can do the same job is 20 minutes.
