Using the together rate, it is found that it would take each person working individually 27 and 29 hours to paint the house.
<h3>What is the together rate?</h3>
The together rate is the sum of each separate rate.
In this problem, we have that the rates are given as follows:
- The together rate is 1/14.
- The separate rates are 1/d and 1/(d-2).
Hence:


d² - 2d = 28d - 28.
d² - 30d + 28 = 0
(d - 29)(d - 0.96) = 0.
Both d and d - 2 have to be positive, hence the solution is d = 29, and it would take each person working individually 27 and 29 hours to paint the house.
