Kate and Jean paint a house together in 6 days. If they work alone, Kate takes 5 fewer days than Jean would take to do the same job. Which equation represents the time it takes Kate to paint the house by herself? x^2-7x-30=0 x^2-5x-6=0 2x-1=0 x^2-5x/6=0

x = number of days it would take Kate to paint the house by herself. .
x+5 = number of days it would take Jean to paint the house by herself.
Together, they paint the house in 6 days:Β 
1/x + 1/(x+5) = 1/6Β 
Multiply both sides by 6x(x+5)Β 
6(x+5) + 6x = x(x+5)Β 
12x + 30 = x^2 + 5xΒ 
x^2 βˆ’ 7x βˆ’ 30 = 0Β 
therefore the answer is A.
The answer is a hope this helps
