    (200/14+200/10) * x=200

    x=200 / (200/14+20)

    this is the equation, you could use calculator for the rest

    Let

    x = time it takes for Franklin to do the job alone

    y = time it takes for Scott to do the job alone

    z = time it takes for them to get the job done when they work together.

    1/x + 1/y = 1/z

    1/14 + 1/10 = 1/z

    z = 35/6 or 5.83 hours
