Let n be the amount of time it takes william to cut the lawn. Then Shelly takes
n-2 hours. So:
1/n+1/n-2=1/3
3(n-2)+3n=n²-2n
6n-6=n²-2n
n²-8n+6=0
Using the quadratic formula, we get a positive value of 7.1623 hrs as the amount of time william takes working alone, and 5.1623 as the amount  of time Shelly takes working alone

Find a formula for the sum of the first n even integers : 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2n.
Sedbober [7]

Let S be the sum,

S = 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2 (n - 2) + 2 (n - 1) + 2n

Reverse the order of terms:

S = 2n + 2 (n - 1) + 2 (n - 2) + ... + 6 + 4 + 2

Add up terms in the same positions, so that twice the sum is

2S = (2n + 2) + (2n + 2) + (2n + 2) + ... + (2n + 2)

or

2S = n (2n + 2)

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for S :

S = n (n + 1)
