straight X space takes space straight x space days space to space complete space one space work hence space in space one space day space straight X thin space completes space 1 over straight x space work similarly straight Y space completes space fraction numerator 1 over denominator straight x plus 5 end fraction space work space in space one space day and straight Z thin space completes 1 over 12 space work space in space one space day Now space work space is space completed space in space 53 over 9 days straight Y space works space for space 53 over 9 days space so space work space done space in space total space by space straight Y space equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator straight x plus 5 end fraction cross times space 53 over 9 straight Z space works space for space open parentheses 53 over 9 minus 1 close parentheses days comma space hence space total space work space done space by space straight Z space equals space 1 over 12 cross times open parentheses 53 over 9 minus 1 close parentheses straight X space works space for space 2 space days comma space hence space total space work space done space by space straight X space equals space 2 over straight x Together space they space complete space one space work fraction numerator 1 over denominator straight x plus 5 end fraction cross times space 53 over 9 plus 1 over 12 cross times open parentheses 53 over 9 minus 1 close parentheses plus 2 over straight x equals 1 Solving space we space get space straight x space equals space 10.
