Let $\"+n+\"$ = number of hours worked
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+10+%2B+5n+\"$ = Scott's amount
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+40+%2B+3n+\"$ = Jill's amount
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+10+%2B+5n+=+40+%2B+3n+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2n+=+30+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+15+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "After 15 hrs, they each have the same amount
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+10+%2B+5n+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+10+%2B+5%2A15+=+85+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+40+%2B+3n+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+40+%2B+3%2A15+=+85+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "
