Question 979547

A Swimming pool can be filled 15 hrs if water enters through a pipe alone, or in 23 hours if water enters through a hose a lone. if water entering through both the pipe and the hose, how long will it take to fill the pool 3/5 full?

x/15+x/23=3/5
(23x+15x)/23(15)=3/5
38x/345=3/5
im stuck here
<pre>You're right on track!! {{{38x/345 = 3/5}}}
Just cross-multiply to get: 190x = 1,035 
You should be able to complete this now!!
