You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This is a common word problem. You are told Carlo can do the job in 6 days. So Carlo can do $\"1%2F6\"$ of the job in a day.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You do not know what Jordan can do, but let's say that Jordan can do the job in X days. So Jordan can do $\"1%2FX\"$ in a day.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Together, the can do the job in 4 days. So they can do $\"1%2F4\"$ of the job in a day .\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F6%29+%2B+%281%2FX%29+=+1%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1%2FX+=+%281%2F4%29+-+%281%2F6%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2FX+=+6%2F24+-+4%2F24\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2FX+=+2%2F24\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2FX+=+1%2F12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"X=12\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Jordan will take 12 days working alone
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
