Question 884193
RT=J, uniform rate, J is amount of job.



________________rate________time_______job
Lindsay_________(___)_______t-5________1
Kimmie__________(___)________t_________1
Together________(___)_______6__________1


You must find expressions for the rates using {{{RT=J}}}, as {{{R=J/T}}}.


________________rate________time_______job
Lindsay_________1/(t-5)_______t-5________1
Kimmie__________1/t________t_________1
Together________1/6_______6__________1


Their "together" rate is the sum of their individual rates.
{{{highlight_green(1/(t-5)+1/t=1/6)}}}.
This equation uses just the variable, t, for time in days for KIMMIE to do the job alone.  Solve for t.
