\n" ); document.write( "\"5.6%2854-x%29%2B8.4x=347.2\", using the time summation equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"%285.6%29%2854%29-5.6x%2B8.4x=347.2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2.8x=347.2-%285.6%29%2854%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "\"x=44.8%2F2.8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=16%29\", overtime hours, according to the values given in the description.
