The new crew works at the rate 1/12 apt/hr.
The old crew works at the rate 1/6 apt/hr.

Let x = hours required to paint the apartment when the two crews work together.

That is, 
(1/12 + 1/6  apt/hr)*(x hr) = (1 apt)
(3/12)x = 1
(1/4)x = 1
x = 4 hours

Answer:  4 hours

In-s [12.5K]
What you must do in this case is to use the potential type function given in the problem:
 a (b) ^ x = c
 We have:
 new car for $ 17,930
 a = 17930
 The value of the car depreciated by 19% per year
 b = 1-0.19 = 0.81
 the car is worth no more than $ 1,900
 c = 1900
 the exponential inequality is:
 a (b) ^ x ≤ c
 17930 (0.81) ^ x ≤ 1900
 Answer:
 the exponential inequality is:
 17930 (0.81) ^ x ≤ 1900
 where
