1. Algebra solution
Let R be rate of work of the team B. (= the part of job the team B complete dayli).
Then the rate of work of the team A is twice of it, i.e. 2R
From the condition, we have
2R + R = <<<---=== it is exactly what the condition says about two reams A and B working together.
This equation is 3R = , or, equivalently, R = = , which exactly means that the team B will complete the job in 18 days.
Then you may conclude that the team A will complete the job in 18/2 = 9 days.
Solved.
2. Logic solution
Team A works as two teams B.
Since A + B complete the job in 6 days, it means that three teams B working together will complete the job in 6 days.
Hence, one single team B will complete the job in 3*6 = 18 days working alone.
Then the Team A will complete it in 9 days working alone.
Check. + = = = . ! Correct !
