Cody ALONE = 8 hours 
Kaitlyn ALONE = 6 hours 
Let Joseph ALONE take j hours 
Cody ALONE in 1 HOUR = 1/8 of the work Kaitlyn ALONE in 1 hour = 1/6 of the work Joseph ALONE in 1 HOUR = 1/j of the work 
Since TOGETHER they take X hours, in 1 hour TOGETHER they complete 1 / X of the work 
1/8 + 1/6 + 1/j = 1/X 
1/j = 1/X - 1/8 - 1/6 = (24 - 3X - 4X ) /24X = (24 - 7X ) / 24X 
j = 24X / ( 24- 7X ) 
After completing the work value of X will be known , calculate j from the above formula ANSWER

Find the measure of each acute angle.
Alona [7]

Answer:

(19x - 1)° = 56°

(13x - 5)° = 34°

Step-by-step explanation:

Property of the interior angles of a triangle:

Sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

Therefore, sum of angles of the given right triangle will be,

(19x - 1)° + (13x - 5)° + 90° = 180°

32x - 6 + 90 = 180

32x = 96

x = 3

(19x - 1)° = 19×3 - 1 = 56°

(13x - 5)° = 13×3 - 5 = 34°
