Question 295724: I think I put this in the wrong category when I submitted it the first time.
I can't seem to come up with an equation that works for this. Sammy's time is Martins + 5. Together their time equals 6. I can't figure out how to work Martin's time in there. Could someone help me out a little?
Sammy takes 5 hours longer to complete 300 lines of code than Martin. Together, Sammy and Martin can complete the code in 6 hours. Clearly explain the results showing the calculations of how long it takes each programmer to complete the code if he programs on his own (hint: quadratic equation) and at what speed he is programming lines per hour.
