Takes Amy twice as long to deliver as it does Nancy. How does it take each girl to deliver papers if together it takes 50 minutes

Question

How to set up he equation

Answer 1

(time together)/(time alone) + (time together)(time alone) = 1

Let x = Nancy's time alone

Let 2x = Amy's time alone

50/x + 50/2x = 1       Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x.

100 + 50 = 2x

150 = 2x

75 minutes = x

2x = 150 minutes

Answer 2

t represents Nancy's time

2t represents Amy's time

 

5 / 2t + 50 / t = 1

 

Can yo solve for t and answer?
