Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours Nick does the job alone to be x - 3 hours

Hence, in 1 hour, Nick has done 1/x - 3

Together they complete the job in 9 hours

Hence, let's represent the job as 1

9/x + 9/x - 3 = 1

Multiply through by (x)(x-3)

9(x- 3) + 9(x) = 1

9x - 27 + 9x = (x)(x-3)

-27 = x² - 3x

x² - 3x +27 = 0

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are said to be congruent if all the three angles and three sides of one triangle is equal to the three sides and three angles of the other triangle.

Statement                             Reason

RS ⊥ TS and RV ⊥ TV           Given

∠S = ∠V are right angles      Definition of perpendicular. Since RS ⊥ TS,

                                               hence ∠S = 90° and RV ⊥ TV hence ∠V = 90°

ST ≅ VT                                  Given

RT ≅ RT                                  Reflexive property of congruence

ΔTSR  ≅ ΔTVR                      Hypotenuse leg congruence theorem. For

                                              two right triangles, if the hypotenuse and leg

                                              of one triangle is the same as the hypotenuse

                                              and leg of the second triangle, then the two

                                               triangles are congruent.

RS ≅ RV                                  Definition of congruency.
