Push Mower
------------------------------------------------------------------
It takes 5 hours to complete the job
1 hour = 1/5 of the job
------------------------------------------------------------------
Riding Lawn Mower
------------------------------------------------------------------
It takes 3 hours to complete the job
1 hour = 1/3 of the job
------------------------------------------------------------------
Push Mower + Riding Lawn Mower
------------------------------------------------------------------
1 hour = 1/5 + 1/3
1 hour = 3/15 + 5/15
1 hour = 8/15 of the job.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Calculate time needed to complete
------------------------------------------------------------------
8/15 of the job takes 1 hour
8/15 of the job = 1 hour
------------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 8/15 on both side
------------------------------------------------------------------
8/15 ÷ 8/15 of the job = 1 ÷ 8/15 hour
Whole of the job = 1 x 15/8 hours
Whole of the job = 15/8 hours
Whole of the job = 1 7/8 hours

Answer: x=32
Exclamation:
-3x\4+25=1/8x-3
-3/4x+25=x/8-3
-6x+200=x-24
200=x-24+6x
200=7x-24
200+24=7x
224=7x
224/7=32
