Harry can rake the leaves in the yard 8 hours faster than his little brother Jimmy can.
If they join to work together they can complete the job in 3 hours. 
1/x + 1/(x - 8) = 1/3 
3(x - 8) + 3x = x(x - 8) 
x^2 - 14x + 24 = 0 
(x - 12)(x - 2) = 0 
Solutions: 
x = 2 
x = 12 
Jimmy can complete the job on his own in 12 hours.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Cora's spend will be = $ 16.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the amount Ben spent

As Ava spent three times Ben will be 3y and half as much Cora(2y)

so the equation becomes

y + 2y + 3y = 50

6y = 50

y = 50/6

y = 8.33

So Cora's spend will be : 2y = 2(8.33) = 16.66 units currency

Note: if currency is in $

Then Cora's spend will be = $ 16.66
