how many folks are there sick by t = 6?
r = rate of growth
by 0 day, or t = 0, there are 2 folks sick,
by the third day, t = 3, there are 40 folks sick,

We want to get rid of the stuff in the denomenator
gcd of the denomenator is 2x
but wait, we can get rid of the deonmenator in the numerator by multiplying by 4x
muliplty the whole thing by 4x/4x
we get
