Assigning Variables and Setting Equation To Solve:

RATES
A,
B,
c, , letting c = how many days the same named c needs to do the job alone.

A works alone for 4 day;
Without A, B and c complete the work in 36 days.

.
This equation uses the uniform rates rule for doing a job or task, refers to the one job counted as 1. The rule is RT=J using rate time, and job. The job to be done in the example was split into two parts... one part for 4 days and the other part for 36 days.

Solve the equation for c.
