T represents the time the Thomas' was on
55 - T represents the time the Chen's was on
15T + 40(55 - T) = 1700
Can you solve for T and answer?

asked 07/25/22The Thomas Family and the Chen Family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output for the Thomas family’s sprinkler was 15L per hour. The water output rate for the Chen family’s sprinkler was 40L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 55 hrs resulting in a total water output of 1700L how long was each sprinkler used?
