The question is incomplete and the complete form of the question is as expressed below.
A worker can clean a pool in four hours less time than it takes another worker. If men work together, the job takes 8/3 hours. How long would it take the slower man working alone?
<h3>What is the hour(s) that will take the slower man?</h3>
Taking x to be the hour(s) for the slower man and (x-4) be the number of hours for the faster man working separately. Thus,
1/x+1/(x-4)=1/8/3
1/x+1/(x-4)=3/8
[(x-4)+x]=(x)(x-4)(3/8)
2x-4=(x^2–4x)(3/8)
16x-32=3x^2–12x
3x^2–28x+32=0
<h3>Factorisation</h3>
Factorise to solve the value of x:
There are 2 values of x for the factors: (3x-4)(x-8) =0
- 3x - 4 =0; 3x= 4; x = 4/3 or 1 1/3 hours (invalid due to the fact that it fits not for the slower man who will work alone for 4 hours slower than the faster man as it is only 4/3 hours which is lesser than 4 hours.
- x - 8 = 0; x = 8 hours (answer to be adopted because it is fit for the slower man to do the job separately for 4 hours lesser than the faster man.
Verify:
1/8 + 1/(8–4) = 1/8/3 =3/8
1/8 + 1/4 = 3/8
(1+2)/8 = 3/8
3/8 = 3/8
Therefore, the correct answer is x = 8 hours for the slower man to work alone.

What is "Shut down your screen week?" and why? does that mean you have to write letters to tell someone that someone is dying? or drive 24 hours to see them? outrageous!
You did not provide the possible statements, however, the characters within the story are mostly poorly educated and used a lot of improper grammar as well as lexical items that show their social status such as curse words.
