Answer:

Correct answer: Alex can finish the same job in 60 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate equation for this situation is:

1/20 + 1/x = 1/15  => (x + 20) / 20x = 1/15 => 15 · (x + 20) = 20x =>

15x + 300 = 20x  => 5x = 300  => x = 300/5 = 60 hours

x = 60 hours

God is with you!!!
