a+b=6
\n" ); document.write( "r*t=d
\n" ); document.write( "t=d/r
\n" ); document.write( "a=60/x
\n" ); document.write( "b=45/(x+4)
\n" ); document.write( "60/x+45/(x+4)=6
\n" ); document.write( "(15(7x+16))/(x(x+4)) = 6
\n" ); document.write( "(2x+5)(x-16)=0
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 -27x -80
\n" ); document.write( "
