X could be 6 or -2
You start at 2 on a number line and move 4 to the right and 4 to the left.
2*2*2= 8
13*1= 13
2*3*5=30
2*5*5= 50
The first would be yes. The second no, the third no, and the last yes
As per the problem,
The larger pump takes 40 minutes to fill the pool.
The smaller one takes 60 minutes.
When both the pumps are working , let the time taken be x minutes , then we can write

Hence, when both the pumps works together, Time taken =24 minutes.
