Twin brothers,billy and Bobby, can mow their grandparents lawn together in 72 minutes. Billy could mow the lawn by himself in 15
Alla [95]

Answer:

Billy used 28 mins 30 sec to mow the lawn and Bobby used 43 mins 30 sec to now the lawn both within 72 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent Billy

let x+15 represent Bobby

x + x + 15 = 72

2x = 72 - 15

2x = 57

2x/2 = 57/2

x = 28.5 minutes = 28 minutes 30 seconds

Bobby = x + 15

= 28.5 + 15

= 43.5 minutes= 43 minutes 30 seconds
