Answer:
6 chairs around each table
Step-by-step explanation:
just did it
we know that Bob can do the whole job in 14 hours, how much of the work has he done in 1 hour only? well since he can do the whole lot in 14 hours in 1 hour he has only done 1/14 th of the job.
we know that James can do it in 18 hours, a bit slower, so in 1 hour he has done only 1/18 th of the job.
let's say it takes both of them working together say "t" hours, so in 1 hour Bob has done (1/14) of the work whilst James has done (1/18) of the work, the whole work being t/t or 1 whole, so for just one hour that'd 1/t done by both Bob and James.

The answer to your question is:
It is a quadratic equation in 'x', with 'n' mistakenly typed in the second term..
Although you didn't ask for the solutions to the equation, I'm already here
so I might as well go through it and find them:
<span><u>3x² - 2x - 5 = 0</u></span>
In terms of the generic quadratic formula:
A = 3
B = -2
C = -5
Plug those into the quadratic formula, and you discover that
<u>x = -1</u>
and
<u>x = ⁵/₃</u>
