If hose A takes x hours to fill the pool, hose B will take x+3 hours to fill the pool. So, each hour, A will fill \bf{\dfrac{1}{x}} parts of the pool and B will fill \bf{\dfrac{1}{x+3}} parts. Since using both hoses fills the pool completely, you have to:

                                                          \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ 1= \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x+3}+\frac{1}{x+3}     } \end{gathered}$}\\\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ \ \ \ =\frac{2}{x}+\frac{2}{x+3}   } \end{gathered}$}\\\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ \ \ \ =\frac{2x+2x+6}{x(x+3)} } \end{gathered}$}

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ x^2+3x=4x+6\ \Longrightarrow\ \ 0=x^2-x-6=(x-3)(x+2) } \end{gathered}$}

Hose A takes 3 hours to fill the pool and Hose B takes 6 hours.

Based on the triangles, which statement is true?
AlladinOne [14]

The sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°, and a linear pair is supplementary (adds to 180°). The appropriate choice is

... G. w = 105°, because ...

_____

In short, an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.

... w = 180 - (180 - (45 + 60)) = 180 -180 +45 +60

... w = 45 +60
