If 10 men can complete a piece of work in 30 days how many men are requiredto complete the same job in 25 days?

1 answer:

3 0

We must assume that all workmen work at the same rate, and keep it up forever.

More men ==> fewer days

so the proportion is: 30/25 = x/10

Cross-multiply the proportion:

300 = 25 x

Divide each side by 25 :

x = 300/25 = <u>12 men</u>

X-y=1 this is on my homerork assignment and i want to know how to grap it

Alecsey [184]

To more easily graph this, convert it to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept):

x - y = 1
-y = -x + 1
y = x - 1

The slope is 1 and the y-intercept is -1. To graph this, plot the point (0, -1) and count 1 unit down and 1 unit to the right. Do this once more, connect the points, and you have your line.

Hope this helps.

We want to factor the following expression:

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

A. (U+V)^2 or (U-V)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

$9x^6 + 6x^3y + y^2 \\ \\ = {(3 {x}^{3} )}^{2} + 2.(3x^3).y +( y)^2 \\ \\ = \bigg({3 {x}^{3} } + y \bigg)^{2} \\ \\ = \bigg({3 {x}^{3} } + y \bigg) \bigg({3 {x}^{3} } + y \bigg) \\ \\ \\ \\$
