Let \"+t%5B1%5D+\" = time spent paddling
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+t%5B2%5D+\" = time spent drifting
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+24+=+6t%5B1%5D+%2B+2t%5B2%5D+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3t%5B1%5D+%2B+t%5B2%5D+=+12+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t%5B1%5D+=+%28-1%2F3%29%2At%5B2%5D+%2B+4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "If \"+t%5B2%5D+=+6+\",
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t%5B1%5D+=+%28-1%2F3%29%2A6+%2B+4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t%5B1%5D+=+-2+%2B+4+\"
