![team A: W−1 workers works done in W+1 hours=(W−1)(W+1) team B: W+1 workers works done in W+2 hours=(W+1)(W+2) (((W−1)(W+1))/((W+1)(W+2)))=((10)/(12))=(5/6) 6W−6=5W+10 ⇒W=16](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q134368.png)
$${team}\:{A}:\:{W}−\mathrm{1}\:{workers} \\ $$$${works}\:{done}\:{in}\:{W}+\mathrm{1}\:{hours}=\left({W}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left({W}+\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${team}\:{B}:\:{W}+\mathrm{1}\:{workers} \\ $$$${works}\:{done}\:{in}\:{W}+\mathrm{2}\:{hours}=\left({W}+\mathrm{1}\right)\left({W}+\mathrm{2}\right) \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\frac{\left({W}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left({W}+\mathrm{1}\right)}{\left({W}+\mathrm{1}\right)\left({W}+\mathrm{2}\right)}=\frac{\mathrm{10}}{\mathrm{12}}=\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{6}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{6}{W}−\mathrm{6}=\mathrm{5}{W}+\mathrm{10} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{W}=\mathrm{16} \\ $$
