Answer:

5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is an inverse proportion case. Having two variables: number of workers and time (in days); when we increase the number of workers, the time needed decreases; vice versa. Therefore, we can use the multiplication method: (workers * time) will always stay constant.

Let's say the time (in days) needed by the eleven workers is t,

5*20 = (3*10) + (14*t)

100 = 30+14t

70 = 14t

5 = t

It will take the eleven-workers 5 more days to finish the road.

(3x-9) +(x+19)+x=180
5x+10=180
-10=-10
5x=170
5 = 5
x=34

2x+(2x+10)+x=180
5x+10=180
-10=-10
5x=170
5 = 5
x=34

yes they are similar

IM STCK PLZ HELP!!! THANK YOU :)

Answer:

x = 81, y = 68 and z = 99

Step-by-step explanation:

The external angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

z is an exterior angle, thus

z = 63 + 36 = 99

x and z form a straight angle and are supplementary, so

x + z = 180, that is

x + 99 = 180 ( subtract 99 from both sides )

x = 81

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°, thus

z + y + 13 = 180, that is

99 + y + 13 = 180

112 + y = 180 ( subtract 112 from both sides )

y = 68
