It will take [tex]\frac{20}{9}[/tex] hours as per linear equation to complete the wall.
What is a linear equation?
A linear equation is an equation where the variable of the equation has the highest power of degree one.
Given, the 1st bricklayer build a complete wall of certain size in 5 hours.
Therefore, that bricklayer build [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]th of the complete wall in 1 hour.
Similarly, the 2nd bricklayer build a complete wall of certain size in 4 hours.
Therefore, that bricklayer build [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]th of the complete wall in 1 hour.
If they work together, in 1 hour they build a total of ([tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]+[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex])th = [tex]\frac{9}{20}[/tex] of the complete wall.
Hence, they will complete the wall in (1÷[tex]\frac{9}{20}[/tex]) hours = [tex]\frac{20}{9}[/tex] hours.
