A company found that an experienced surveyor can survey a roadbed in 3 hours. An apprentice surveyor needs 5 hours to survey how long it takes them to complete the job.
Both surveyor together can complete the job in hr.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
