The correct answer is x + 6, with a remainder of -4.
Work is shown using synthetic division.
12 inches or 1 foot because 24/3=8 and 8*1.5=12
We know that
<span>8 machines in the factory could make all the bottles in 5 days
so
100%-----------> 5 days
1 day------------> 100%/5------> 20% with 8 machines
1 machine work at the rate-------> 20%/8-----> 2.5% per day
day 1---------> </span><span>4 machines are used to make the bottles-----> 4*2.5%---> 10%
</span>day 2--------> 4 machines are used to make the bottles-----> 4*2.5%---> 10%
day 3-------->8 machines are used to make the bottles-----> 8*2.5%---> 20%
day 4-------->8 machines are used to make the bottles-----> 8*2.5%---> 20%
day 5-------->8 machines are used to make the bottles-----> 8*2.5%---> 20%
day 6-------->8 machines are used to make the bottles-----> 8*2.5%---> 20%
<span>total work in 6 days=[10+10+20+20+20+20]------> 100%
the answer is
6 days
</span>
