A large swimming pool had a leak that caused the pool to lose all of its water in 20 hours. The city decided to fill the pool without fixing the leak by turning on 2 hoses. Hose A takes 4 hours to fill the pool when there is no leak. Hose B takes 5 hours to fill the pool when there is no leak. With both hoses turned on and the leak unrepaired how long will it take to fill the pool?

t represents the time both hoses are filling
(t/4) + (t/5) = 1
Can you solve for t and answer?
