So 8x+4+4x+8=15x-9
Combine like terms.
12x+12=15x-9
Add 9 to both sides.
12x+21=15x
Subtract 12 from both sides.
21=3x
Divide both sides by 3.
x=7
Now plug in 7 for x in 8x+4.
8(7)+4
56+4
=60

In 4 hours Bethany did the whole fraction 1 of the house.
In 1 hour he would do 1/4 of it.
In 3 hours Colin did the whole fraction 1 of the house.
<span>In 1 hour he would do 1/3 of it.
</span>
In 1 hour they would both do (1/4 + 1/3)
If it takes both of them x hours to finish 1 whole fraction of the house.
In 1 hour they will both do 1/x
That means that:
1/x = 1/4 + 1/3
That is the equation. x can be solved for.
