Answer:

x+7=19-x

Move the x to the other side by adding it,

2x+7=19

Now move the 7 to the other side by subtracting it

2x=12

Lastly divide both sides by 2 to get x alone

x=6

Paul can install a 300 hundred square foot hardwood floor in 18 hours. Matt can install the same floor in 22 hours. How long wou

ANSWER

Paul and Matt will take
$9.9 \: \: hours$
to install the floor working together.

EXPLANATION

First, calculate Paul's rate, which is

$= \frac{1}{18}$

Next, calculate Matt's rate, which is,
$= \frac{1}{22}$

Let us assume that, Paul and Matt took
$x \: hours$
to do the work together.

Then, the rate of working together is,

$= \frac{1}{x}$

Now, add the individual rates and equate to the rate of working together to form an equation that will help us solve for x.

$\frac{1}{18} + \frac{1}{22} = \frac{1}{x}$

Simplify the left hand side

$\frac{11 + 9}{198} = \frac{1}{x}$

$\frac{20}{198} = \frac{1}{x}$

We reciprocate both sides to get (You could have also done cross multiplication).

$\frac{198}{20} = \frac{x}{1}$

$x = 9.9 \: hours$
