\n" ); document.write( "
It's 1 job and that 1 job is making 20,000 cans
\n" );
document.write( "Let time newer machine takes be N
\n" );
document.write( "Then we get the following equation: \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+1%2FN+%2B+1%2F%283N%29%2C+%22=%22%2C+1%2F6%29\"      OR        \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+6+%2A+%281%2FN%29+%2B+6+%2A+%281%2F%283N%29%29%2C+%22=%22%2C+1%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "Solve any of the above and you should get a value of 8 for N, the time the new machine takes to do the ONE (1) job, alone! \n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
