Part A

The rational equation that can be used to determine how long it would take Lara to clean the tank alone is; 6/9 + 6/x = 1

Part B

It would take Lara 18 hours to clean the tank if she works by herself

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The time it takes Kevin to clean an aquarium tank alone = 9 hours

The time it takes Kevin and Lara to clean the tank together = 6 hours

Let '1/x' represent Lara's cleaning rate, we have;

The time it would take Lara to clean 1 tank alone = 1/(1/x) = x

Kevin's cleaning rate, y = 1/9 tank per hour

The number of tanks, z =  tank

The total time it takes both of them to clean the tank, t = 6 hours

Therefore, we get;

t × y + t × 1/x = z

When t = 6, y = 1/9, and z = 1, we get;

6 × (1/9) + 6·(1/x) = 1

Therefore, the rational equation that can be used to determine how long it would take Lara to clean the tank if she work by herself, '1/x', is given as follows;

6/9 + 6·(1/x) = 1

6/9 + 6/x = 1

Part B

Solving the rational equation gives;

1/x = (1 - 6/9)/6 = 1/18

∴ 1/x = 1/18)

∴ x = 18

The time it would take Lara to clean the tank if she worked by herself, x = 18 hours
