Suppose there are two neighbors, jared and paul. these two neighbors have the same size lawn and the same amount of hedges. each week the two neighbors mow their own lawns and trim their own hedges. it takes jared 30 minutes to mow his lawn and 60 minutes to trim his hedges for a total time of 90 minutes of yard work. it takes paul 120 minutes to mow his lawn and 90 minutes to trim his hedges, for a total of 210 minutes of yard work. could the two neighbors gain by specializing and trading lawn services? , if so where should they specialize and how much time could the save each week? .

Paul should trim both hedges and Jared should mow both lawns.

Each neighbor would save 30 minutes per week

Step-by-step explanation:

The time each neighbor takes to finish each task is presented below:

Jared is better at mowing the lawn than trimming hedges, while Paul is better at trimming hedges than mowing the lawn. Therefore, the two neighbors could gain by specializing and trading lawn services if Paul were to trim both hedges and Jared were to mow the lawns.

The time saved by each is:

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
