Answer:
It will take Andy 1.198minutes to mow the lawn and it will take Brian 1,209.98minutes to mow the same lawn.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the simultaneous equation concept, let A denote Andy and B be Brian
Andy and Brian can mow the lawn for 1212minutes i.e A+B = 1212..eqn 1
If Brian would mow the lawn by himself in 1010 minutes more than it would take Andy, this means B=1010A...eqn 2.
Substituting eqn 2 into eqn 1
Equation 1 becomes
A+1010A=1212
1011A=1212
A=1212/1011
A=1.198
B = 1010×1.198
B=1,209.98
Therefore, It will take Andy 1.198minutes to mow the lawn and it will take Brian 1,209.98minutes to mow the same lawn.
