Answer:
<em>6 days</em>
<em></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the time taken by Carpenter working alone = 
days
Then time taken by apprentice alone = Twice as that of taken by Carpenter = 2 days
Time taken working together = 2 days
Work done in one day working together = 
Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone = 
Work done in one day by apprentice working alone = 
Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone + Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone = + = Work done in one day working together =
Time taken by Carpenter alone to complete the work = 3 days
Time taken by Apprentice alone to complete the work = 3 
2= <em>6 days</em>
9a + 5b + 5c = 9
Multiplying the whole equation by -2.
-18a - 10b - 10c = -18.
Hence, the answer is -18.
Start with 180.
<span>Is 180 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" as one of the prime factors, and then work with the quotient, 90. </span>
<span>Is 90 divisible by 2? Yes, so write "2" (again) as another prime factor, then work with the quotient, 45. </span>
<span>Is 45 divisible by 2? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
<span>Is 45 divisible by 3? Yes, so write "3" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 15 </span>
<span>Is 15 divisible by 3? [Note: no need to revert to "2", because we've already divided out all the 2's] Yes, so write "3" (again) as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 5. </span>
<span>Is 5 divisible by 3? No, so try a bigger divisor. </span>
Is 5 divisible by 4? No, so try a bigger divisor (actually, we know it can't be divisible by 4 becase it's not divisible by 2)
<span>Is 5 divisible by 5? Yes, so write "5" as a prime factor, then work with the quotient, 1 </span>
<span>Once you end up with a quotient of "1" you're done. </span>
<span>In this case, you should have written down, "2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5"</span>
