Rate for drain A:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2+\"$ gal/min
\n" ); document.write( "Rate for drain B:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5+\"$ gal/min
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+t+\"$ = time in minutes
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation for drain A:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+108+=+2t+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Equation for drain B:
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+108+=+5t+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1)
