asked • 02/09/20Using the MaxPower pump it takes 5 days to empty the town swimming pool. The SuperMaxPower pump can empty 2 pools in 7 days. If both pumps are used together to empty the pool how long will it take?

t represents the time pumping together
t / 5 + t / 3.5 = 1 3.5 because 2 pools in 7 hours is 1 pool in 3.5
Can you solve for t and answer?
