Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, notice that these two triangles are similar using AA.

Because sides BC and EC are corresponding, you can divide 24 by 8, to determine that the ratio of similitude is 3.

That means that because sides AC and DC are corresponding, 25 - 2x divided by x is 3.

25 - 2x / x = 3

25 - 2x = 3x

25 = 5x

x = 5

x is the same as side CD, so CD = 5.

One month, ruby worked 8 hours more than isaac, and svetlana worked 4 times as many hours as ruby. together they worked 136 hour

Travka [436]

Let Issac work for x hours, and Ruby works 8 hours more than of Issac, so Ruby work for $(x+8)$ hours.

And Svetlana worked four times of Ruby, therefore Svetlana worked for

$4(x+8) hours$

And total hours they worked together is 136. That is

$x+x+8 + 4(x+8) = 136
\\
x+x+8 +4x+32=136
\\
6x+40 =136
\\
6x=96
\\
x =16 hours$

So Issac worked for 16 hours, Ruby worked for 24 hours and Svetlana worked for 24 times 4 equals 96 hours .
