Answer:

C. 30

Step-by-step explanation:

15 men do work in 16 days

This means that 7.5 men (15/2) would do that same work in 32 days (16x2).

If the number of men increase, the amount of days decrease.

8 men would do that work in 30 days

8 men > 7.5 men

30 days < 32 days

It is an inverse proportion, fewer workers more days to finish the job.

Rational equation for x, 3x/x+1 + 4/x-2=3
zimovet [89]

Answer:

x = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Express the fractions on the left side as a single fraction.

Multiply the numerator/denominator of the first fraction by (x - 2)

Multiply the numerator/denominator of the second fraction by (x + 1)

\frac{3x(x-2)}{(x+1)(x-2)} + \frac{4(x+1)}{(x+1)(x-2)} = 3

Distribute the numerators and simplify

\frac{3x^2-6x+4x+4}{(x+1)(x-2)} = 3 ( cross- multiply )

3x² - 2x + 4 = 3(x+ 1)(x - 2) ← distribute

3x² - 2x + 4 = 3(x² - x - 2)

3x² - 2x + 4 = 3x² - 3x - 6 ( subtract 3x² - 3x  from both sides )

x + 4 = - 6 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = - 10

Susan owes $15,000 in student loans. She pays $150 toward the debt every month. Represent the total amount that she owes as a fu
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

f(x) = 15000 - 150x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Initial Amount owed = $15000

Amount payed towards debt per month = $150

Total amount owed as a function of month(x) after each payment :

F(x) = Initial amount owed - (amount paid per month * number of month)

Let number of month = x

f(x) = 15000 - 150x

Hence, the function ;

f(x) = 15000 - 150x represents the total amount owed after each payment.
