# Painters

The first team of painters would paint bridge in 15 days, the second in 10 days. After 3 days of working together second team goes out and continue only first team. How many days took second team to finish painting the bridge?

Result

x =  7.5

#### Solution:

$3(\dfrac{1}{15}+\dfrac{1}{10})+\dfrac{1}{15}x = 1 \ \\ x = 7.5$

(1/15+1/10)*3+1/15x = 1

2x = 15

x = 152 = 7.5
