\n" );
document.write( "Then Noni's and Anton's per-hour rates are: , respectively
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 
\n" );
document.write( "           4T + 3.5T = 14 ------ Multiplying by LCD, 4T(3.5)
\n" );
document.write( "                7.5T = 14
\n" );
document.write( "Working together, time both will take to complete job, or 
\n" );
document.write( "Time when both will finish job:  \n" );
