An experienced employee can enter tax data into a computer two times as fast as a new employee. Working together, it takes the employees 14 hours. How long would it take the experienced employee working alone?

Let time experienced worker takes be T
Then time new worker takes = 2T
Then the former and latter can do: in 1 hour
We then get:
14 + 7 = T ------- Multiplying by LCD, 14T
T, or time taken by the experienced worker to do job, alone =
