Answer:
40 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of minutes it would take colleen to finish the job when he is working alone. Hence, it can be represented by the equation:
![\frac{1}{c}+\frac{1}{c+20} =\frac{1}{24} \\\\Finding\ the\ L.C.M\ of\ the\ fraction\ to\ get\ 24c(c+20)\ as\ the\ L.C.M.\\Multiply\ the\ whole\ equation\ by\ 24c(c+20):\\\\\frac{1}{c}(24c(c+20))+\frac{1}{c+20}(24c(c+20)) =\frac{1}{24}(24c(c+20)) \\\\24c+480+24c=c^2+20c\\\\48c+480=c^2+20c\\\\c^2+20c-48c-480=0\\\\c^2-28c-480=0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bc%7D%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bc%2B20%7D%20%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B24%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5CFinding%5C%20the%5C%20L.C.M%5C%20of%5C%20the%5C%20fraction%5C%20to%5C%20get%5C%2024c%28c%2B20%29%5C%20as%5C%20the%5C%20L.C.M.%5C%5CMultiply%5C%20the%5C%20whole%5C%20equation%5C%20by%5C%2024c%28c%2B20%29%3A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bc%7D%2824c%28c%2B20%29%29%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bc%2B20%7D%2824c%28c%2B20%29%29%20%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B24%7D%2824c%28c%2B20%29%29%20%5C%5C%5C%5C24c%2B480%2B24c%3Dc%5E2%2B20c%5C%5C%5C%5C48c%2B480%3Dc%5E2%2B20c%5C%5C%5C%5Cc%5E2%2B20c-48c-480%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5Cc%5E2-28c-480%3D0)
Solving the quadratic equation to get c gives:
c = -12 and c = 40
Since the time cannot be negative, hence c = 40 minutes.
It would take colleen 40 minutes to clear the yard of leaves alone
