document.write( "Let x represent how long will it take them together to mow this yard
\n" );
document.write( "Question states*** Per Minute the Equalizer

document.write( " 1/40 + 1/30 = 1/x  |Multiplying thru by 30*40*x, so as all denominators = 1
\n" );
document.write( " 30x + 40x = 30*40
\n" );
document.write( "      70x = 1200
\n" );
document.write( "        x = 17.1429 min, time it would take togehter to mow this yard \n" );
