The rate at which the new robot works is \"+x%2F1+\" transmissions/hour
\n" ); document.write( "Old robot's rate = \"+%28x%2F8%29+%2F+1+\" transmissions/hour
\n" ); document.write( "Working together, just add the rates
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+k+\" = total transmissions produced
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%2F1+%2B+x%2F8+=+k%2F%285%2A24%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%2A%28+1+%2B+1%2F8+%29+=+k+%2F+120+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+k%2F120+=+%289%2F8%29%2Ax++\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+k+=+%28%28+9%2A120+%29%2F8%29%2Ax+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+k+=+135x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The new robot plus old robot can produce \"+135x+\" transmissions
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
