Answer 10

Two people can cut one lawn in 5 hour; on their own, it takes approximately twice that, so 10 hours.
10 hours + 10 hours = 20 hours
A + B = 20
A = B+1
Substitute the value of A
(B+1) + B = 20
2B + 1 = 20
Subtract
2B = 19
B = 9.5
If B = 9.5 and A is an hour slower, A = 10.5
.
The faster person can cut the lawn by himself in 9.5 hours.

Answer 11

x = time of faster person
5/x + 5/(x+1) = 1
10x+5 = x^2+x
x^2-9x-5 = 0
x = [9±sqrt(101)]/2
x = 9.525 hours
