Ok, so you know that we can't divide fractions no matter what. The first thing you do is keep the first fraction, then change the divide sign to multiplication ( opposite of division is multi. ) and finallly flip the last fraction to 7/1 .
Here's a video to help you understand that method more ...

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of hours Nick does the job alone to be x - 3 hours
Hence, in 1 hour, Nick has done 1/x - 3
Together they complete the job in 9 hours
Hence, let's represent the job as 1
9/x + 9/x - 3 = 1
Multiply through by (x)(x-3)
9(x- 3) + 9(x) = 1
9x - 27 + 9x = (x)(x-3)
-27 = x² - 3x
x² - 3x +27 = 0
Answer:
x1=-4/5, x2=18/5 and x3=7/5
Step-by-step explanation:
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&-3&-5\\3&1&2&4\\2&2&1&7\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D1%260%26-3%26-5%5C%5C3%261%262%264%5C%5C2%262%261%267%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
you can do linear combination between the rows:
2nd row=R2-3R1 and 3th row=R3-2R1
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&-3&-5\\0&1&11&19\\0&2&7&17\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D1%260%26-3%26-5%5C%5C0%261%2611%2619%5C%5C0%262%267%2617%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
3th row=(3R2-R3)/15
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&-3&-5\\0&1&11&19\\0&0&1&\frac{7}{5} \end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D1%260%26-3%26-5%5C%5C0%261%2611%2619%5C%5C0%260%261%26%5Cfrac%7B7%7D%7B5%7D%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
1st row=R1+3R3 and R2-11R3
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&0&0&-4/5 \\0&1&0&18/5 \\0&0&1&7/5\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Cc%7D1%260%260%26-4%2F5%20%5C%5C0%261%260%2618%2F5%20%5C%5C0%260%261%267%2F5%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
x1=-4/5, x2=18/5 and x3=7/5
