X = number of days it would take Kate to paint the house by herself. .
<span>x+5 = number of days it would take Jean to paint the house by herself.</span>
<span>Together, they paint the house in 6 days: </span>
<span>1/x + 1/(x+5) = 1/6 </span>
<span>Multiply both sides by 6x(x+5) </span>
<span>6(x+5) + 6x = x(x+5) </span>
<span>12x + 30 = x^2 + 5x </span>
<span>x^2 − 7x − 30 = 0
</span>therefore the answer is A.
You should divide 280 into 3 which would equal 9
