Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for 2x+14=8

Subtract 14 on both sides: 2x= 8-14

2x = -6

Divide by 2: x = -3

-3 = -3

Hope this helps!!

Answer:

They are equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+14 = 8

Lets solve for x

Subtract 14 from each side

2x+14-14 = 8-14

2x = -6

Divide by 2

2x/2 = -6/2

x = -3

They are the same

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

77julia77 [94]

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 = 12 men
