It takes a less experienced painter 20 hours longer to paint a house than it does a more experienced painter. together they can paint the house in 24 hours. how long does it take for each painter to paint the house working alone?

Experienced Painter = x Less Experienced Painter = x+20

x + (x+20) = 24

2x+20 = 24

(Subtract 20 from both sides)

2x = 4

(Divide by 2)

x = 2

Final Answer: It takes the experienced painter 2 hours and the less experienced painter 22 hours.
