\r\n" );
document.write( "One team of workers can complete the job in 10 days -- hence, the rate of work of this team is    of the job per day.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The other team of workers can complete the job in 8 days -- hence, the rate of work of the other team is    of the job per day.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The combined rate of work of two teams working together is   =  =  of the job per day.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "After working first day, the first team completed    of the job -- hence,    of the job remained to do.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Working at the combined rate    of the job per day, the two team need   =  = 4 days to complete the job.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus \"N\", the number of days under the question is 4:  N= 4.    ANSWER\r\n" );
