<span>Faster maid DATA:
time = x hr/job ; rate = 1/x job/jhr
Slower maid DATA:
time = 3x hr/job ; rate = 1/3x job/hr
Together DATA:
time = 3 hr/job ; rate = 1/3 job/hr
Equation:
rate + rate = together rate
1/x + 1/3x = 1/3
Multiply thru by 3x to get:
3 + 1 = x
x = 4 hrs (time for the faster maid to do the job)</span>

Tell wether the angles are adjacent or vertical. Then find the value of x.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The angles are vertical

Step-by-step explanation:

x+42+2x+1=180

put the like terms together i.e 2x+x+42+1=180

you get: 3x+43=180

Take 43 to th other side of 180 i.e 3x=180-43 i.e (180-43=137)

You get 3x=137

Divide both sides by 3

you get x=45.666666666667(Round off to get 45.67)

Substitute the value of x to the angles

x+42(45.67+42=87.67)

2x+1(2(45.67)+1=92.34

Add 87.67+92.34=180

THis shows that the angles are vertical
