Question 924686: One pipe can fill a pool 1.5 times faster than a second pipe. If both pipes are open, the pool can be filled in 6 hours. If only the slower pipe is open, how long would it take to fill the pool? Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):

Combined rate for all routes working simultaneously is the sum of the rates through all of the routes.
Let x be the time for the slower pipe to fill pool.
