Already answered.

If this is a re-post, then please look at the statement of the problem as you show it. It simply doesn't make sense.

"Manny and Manuel can finish a certain job if manny works for 15 days and Manuel works for 3 days."

fine... that is useful information.

"if they both work for six days,..."

that is not fine; there is something missing there; as it is, it gives us no useful information.

"how long will it take each to do the job alone?"

We can't tell unless you give us some useful information with the second statement.

the tutor @greenestamps just noticed that the problem, as it posted, makes no sense.

I confirm this diagnosis: it really does not make sense.
