In 150 mins jim does 10 and shannon does 6.
So that's 16 in total in 150 mins
So 8 take 75 mins and 4 takes 37.5 mins

nescio

after one minute, Jimmy has painted 1/15 of a panel and Shannon has painted 1/25, so each minute, they paint 1/15 + 1/25 = 8/75 of a panel between them. Divide 4 by 8/75 to get the time - 37.5 minutes

Did these help, betty. We got there by slightly different routes but got the same answer

Old_Geezer

You need to work out the combined rate of painting for the two, and use that to see how long painting at such a rate takes to finish the 4 panels. (Of course the answer would be different if both refuse to work on the same panel at the same time as someone else. Too many cooks, and all that.)
