You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I will give you one with the answer and you can try to use that example to make your own.
It takes Sybil 6 hrs longer to paint a room than it takes Joanne. Working together, they can paint the room in 4 hours. How long would it take each working alone to paint the room?
Rate of Sybil: 6 + x
Rate of Joanne: x
Time together: 4 hrs
Equation: 4/ (6+x) + 4/x
Solution: Sybil: 12 hours, Joanne: 6 hours

Good luck on your homework!
