900T+700(3-T)=2352
\n" ); document.write( "900T+2100-700T=2352
\n" ); document.write( "200T=2352-2100
\n" ); document.write( "200T=252
\n" ); document.write( "T=252/200
\n" ); document.write( "T=1.26 HOURS @ 900 MPH BEFORE SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF
\n" ); document.write( "900*1.26+700(3-1.26)=2352
\n" ); document.write( "1134+700*1.74=2352
\n" ); document.write( "1134+1218=2352
\n" ); document.write( "2352=2352
\n" ); document.write( "
