Answer:

12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x hours be the time needed for the experienced employee, then 3x hours is time needed for the new employee.

Then, the experienced employee completes \dfrac{1}{x} of the whole work per hour and the new employee completes \dfrac{1}{3x} of the whole work per hour.

Altogether the can complete

\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{3x}=\dfrac{4}{3x}

of the whole work per hour and need

\dfrac{1}{\frac{4}{3x}}=\dfrac{3x}{4}

hours to finish the whole work.

Working together, it takes them 9 hours, then

\dfrac{3x}{4}=9\\ \\3x=36\\ \\x=12\ hours

Then, 5x^2 = 5;

x^2 = 1;

x = +1 or x = -1;

Finally, y = +2 or y = -2.
