ONE person paints walls at the rate of r walls per minute.
\n" ); document.write( "If n is how many people, t for time in minutes, j for amount of jobs, then \"nr%2At=j\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"9r%2A32=8\" and \"4r%2At=6\".
\n" ); document.write( "Work with them. TWO variables, two equations. Solve for r from the first equation and substitute into the second equation and solve for t.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
