Uniform Rate, work or task completion, RT=J rate time job.

A, 1/9 jobs per day;
B, 1/15 jobs per day.
If A and B work at the same time, rate is jobs per day.
If working together and then A leaves, then remaining time is worked by B.

A and B work together for x days, and then B continues to work alone for y days.
AND .
The arithmetic and number property solving steps are undone so you can do them.
