The rate a computer works is 1/time. Working together, you add the rates.
Let new computer be x, old computer be y.
x = y - 7

\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{13} \\  \\ \frac{1}{y-7}+\frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{13} \\  \\ \frac{2y-7}{y(y-7)} = \frac{1}{13} \\  \\ y(y-7) = 13(2y-7) \\  \\ y^2-33y+91 = 0 \\  \\ y = 29.96 \\  \\ x = y-7 = 29.96-7 = 22.96
Rounded to nearest tenth gives:
x = 23 hours
