12 minutes to complete the route together

John can complete a paper route in 20 minutes.

John's 1 minute work = 1/20 , so rate =1/20 job/minute

Steve can complete the same route in 30 minutes

Steve's 1 minute work =1/30, so rate =1/30 job/minute

Together DATA:

Time = y min/job ; Rate = 1/y job/min

rate + rate = together rate

1/20 + 1/30 = 1/y

(30+20)/600 = 1/y

50/600

5/60 = 1/y

y = 60/5 = 12 minutes (time for this to do the job together)

ZEFG and ZGFH are a linear pair, mZEFG = 3n+ 21, and mZGFH = 2n + 34. What are mZEFG and mZGFH?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

∠EFG and ∠GFH are a linear pair, m∠EFG = 3n+ 21, and m∠GFH = 2n + 34. What are m∠EFG and m∠GFH?

Solution:

Two angles are said to form a linear pair if they share a base. Linear pair angles are adjacent angles formed along a line as a result of the intersection of two lines. Linear pairs are always supplementary (that is they add up to 180°).

m∠EFG = 3n + 21, m∠GFH = 2n + 34. Both angles form linear pairs, hence:

m∠EFG + m∠GFH = 180°

3n + 21 + (2n + 34) = 180

3n + 2n + 21 + 34 = 180

5n + 55 = 180

5n = 125

n = 25

Therefore, m∠EFG = 3(25) + 21 = 96°, m∠GFH = 2(25) + 34 = 84°

Please help me with number six
Tpy6a [65]

w = 2x = 2( \frac{y}{3}) \\ v = 2w = 2 \times 2( \frac{y}{3} ) \\ v + w  + x + y = 180 \\  \frac{4}{3} y +  \frac{2}{3} y +  \frac{y}{3}  + y = 180 \\ y( \frac{4}{3}  +  \frac{2}{3}  +  \frac{1}{3}  + 1) = 180 \\ y =  \frac{180}{()}
