Suppose that the time it takes to do a job is inversely proportional to the number of workers. that is, the more workers on the

job the less time required to complete the job. if it takes 2 workers 8 days to finish a job, how long will it take 8 workers?

I think it would be 2 days. you would get it done 4 times faster, so 8/4 is 2

How do you solve an equation when the variable is being divided by a whole number?????

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

you can simply describe a formula as being a variable and an expression separated by an equal sign between them. In other words a formula is the same as an equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by subtracting the number that's being added to 4y. What you'll need to do now is divide the 4 into both side of the equation. default, it gives you the result as a whole number followed by a decimal with numbers after the decimal.

A mango weighs 36 ounces. The total weight of 3 magoes and 1 apple is the same as the weight of 5 apples. How much does 1 apple

Vadim26 [7]

Data:

M (mango)
A (apple)

We have:
1M = 36 ounces
3M + 1A = 5A

Replace and solving:

$3M + 1A = 5A$
$
3.(36) + 1A = 5A$
$108 + 1A = 5A$
$108 = 5A - 1A$
$108 = 4A$
$4A = 108$
$A = \frac{108}{4}$
$\boxed{A = 27}$

Answer:
Aple weigh 27 ounces

How would 2X + Y = 13 be written

o-na [289]

Answer:

y = -2x+13

Step-by-step explanation:

2X + Y = 13

The slope intercept form is y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-2x+y = -2x+13

y = -2x+13

Find x- and y-intercepts. Write ordered pairs representing the points where the line crosses the axes. 2x+3y=6

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

x-intercept: (3, 0)

y-intercept: (0, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

For a function like:

y = f(x)

The x-intercept is the value of x when y = 0

the y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0

Also remember that an ordered pair is written as (x, y).

In this case we have the equation:

2*x + 3*y = 6

For the x-intercept, we just replace y by zero in the equation, then we get:

2*x + 3*0 = 6

Solving this for x, we get:

2*x = 6

x = 6/2 = 3

Then in this case, the ordered pair for the x-intercept is (3, 0)

For the y-intercept, we just need to replace x by zero in the equation:

2*0 + 3*y = 6

Solving this for y, we get:

3*y = 6

y = 6/3 = 2

Then the ordered pair for the y-intercept is (0, 2)
