R*T=Q for rate, time, count of articles.

Worker_________rate(quantperhour)________time(hours)_________quantity
Ram____________45_________________________t__________________45t
Shyam__________40_________________________t+5________________40(t+5)

Their quantities produced are given as equal.
highlight_green%2845t=40%28t%2B5%29%29;
Solve for t.
