Let \"+R+\" = Steven's rate of working in jobs/hr
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3R+\" = Jamie's rate of working in jobs/hr
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1%2F9+\" = their rate working together in jobs/hr
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Add their rates of working to get their rate working together
\n" ); document.write( "\"+R+%2B+3R+=+1%2F9+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4R+=+1%2F9+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+R+=+1%2F36+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3R+=+1%2F12+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Steven would take 36 hrs working alone\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
