You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A and B are in relation to each other. Solution elements A and B are infinite.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3AB%281%2F3%29=3AB+%281%2FA%29%2B3AB%281%2FB%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"AB=3B%2B3A\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"AB-3B=3A\"

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can find some whole numbered pairs of A and B. Be sure \"A%3C%3E3\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A=6 is one example which should work.
\n" ); document.write( "Try 9 also for A, and see if that works.\r

\n" ); document.write( "You reported A=4 and B=12.
\n" ); document.write( "B=(3A)/(A-3)
\n" ); document.write( "\"12=%283%2A4%29%2F%284-3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"12=12%2F1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"12=12\"
\n" ); document.write( "Yes, that combination works. This is not the only combination that will work. You can find others.
