\n" ); document.write( "\"28r%2A21=1\" and for some unknown number m of additional men, \"%2828%2Bm%29r%2A14=1\". These both are for 1 job and the two left members are equal.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"28r%2A21=%2828%2Bm%29r%2A14\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F14r%29%2828%2A21r%29=%281%2F14r%29%2828%2Bm%2914r\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"42=28%2Bm\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=42-28\"
