You can put this solution on YOUR website!
solve $\"1%2Fm+%2B+1%2Fn%2B+1%2Fp+=+1%2Ft\"$ for p
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply each term by mnpt to clear the denominators, results:
\n" ); document.write( "npt + mpt + mnt = mnp
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We want all the terms containing p on the left, those not containing p on the right
\n" ); document.write( "npt + mpt - mnp = -mnt
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Factor out p
\n" ); document.write( "p(nt + mt - mn) = -mnt
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by (nt + mt - mn)
\n" ); document.write( "p = $\"-mnt%2F%28nt+%2B+mt+-+mn%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
