Add their rates of working to get
\n" ); document.write( "their rate working together
\n" ); document.write( "A's rate:
\n" ); document.write( "( 10 robots ) / ( 6 hrs )
\n" ); document.write( "B's rate:
\n" ); document.write( "( 10 robots ) / ( 4 hrs )
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+t+\" = the time in hours for them
\n" ); document.write( "to build 10 robots working together
\n" ); document.write( "\"+10+%2F+6+%2B+10+%2F+4+=+10+%2F+t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by \"+10+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1%2F6+%2B+1%2F4+=+1%2Ft+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"+12t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2t+%2B+3t+=+12+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5t+=+12+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t+=+2.4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Convert \"+.4+\" hrs to minutes
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.4%2A60+=+24+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Working together, they take 2 hrs 24 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "to build 10 robots\r
