Answer:
Let x be the time of A tap
x+5 be the time of B tap
As per the statement the equation becomes,
x
1
+
x+5
=
6
Multiplying x(x+5) on both sides to eliminate the denominator.
6x+30+6x=x
2
+5x
−7x−30=0
On factoring, we get ( kzc-gmwn-uga )
(x−10)(x+3)=0
x=10 or −3
A tap to fill the tank separately is 10 hours.
