How do you solve combination (working together) rate problems example, if john can do a particular job in 4 hours, but Mitch can do the same job in 3, how long will it take them to do the same job if they work together?

3 hours and 30 minutes as ambod will work half the time

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
