RATES OF WORK
\n" ); document.write( "T_one, \"1%2F15\"
\n" ); document.write( "T_two, \"1%2Fw\"
\n" ); document.write( "T_combined, \"1%2F6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x, unknown time for T_one to finish
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F6%29%2A4%2B%281%2Fw%29%2Ax=1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use the rates to solve for w.
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute in the \"to finish\" equation and simplify and solve for x.
