Danny and josh are going to paint josh's neighbor's fence. josh painted the fence by himself two years ago. four years ago, danny painted the same fence and did it 9 hours faster than josh. together, danny and josh finished painting the fence in just 7 hours. write the work equation that will represent this situation. solve the equation to find how long it would take danny and josh to paint the fence if each was doing it by himself. be sure to explain each step. did you have to find the least common denominator? why is a least common denominator important for solving rational polynomial equations?

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have that Danny painted the fence in 9 hours faster than Josh. Therefore, let's call:

: Josh's time

: Danny's time

2. In one hour Josh did of the painting job and Danny did . Working together they did of the painting job. Therefore, you can write the following equation:

3. Yes, you have to find the least common denominator to solve for and solve the equation:

4. When you solve the quadratic equation, you obtain:

The answer is:

Josh:

Danny:

it depends on the weather. because i have flown to seattle when it was pouring down rain and there was one time i flew to ohio when it was snowing hard. whats your situation.
