Answer:

The correct answer is 10 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

To fill a trench, 5 men work for 6 hours a day for eight days.

Total work hours required is given by 5 × 6 × 8 = 240 hours.

The same work is supposed to be done by 3 men working 8 hours a day.

Let these three men need to work for x days.

Therefore total work hour these group of three men gave = 3 × 8 × x = 24x hours

Therefore the work hour of both the group of 5 men and 3 men should be equal.

⇒ 24x = 240

⇒ x = 10

Therefore the group of 3 men have to work for 10 days to fill the trench.

The number -3 can be classified as which of the following?

sp2606 [1]

<u>Answer</u>:

-3 is an integer, rational number and real number , so correct option id D) that is all of the above.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Integer is all natural number that a 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ……. And zero and negative of natural numbers like -1 , -2 , -3 , - 4 ……. So -3 is an integer.

Rational number is the number which can be represented in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0 . As -3 can be represented as (-3)/1 . hence -3 is also a rational number.

Real number is all number which can be represented on number line. All integers and rational numbers are real numbers . so -3 is also a real number.

Hence as -3 is an integer, rational number and real number , so correct option id D) that is all of the above.

Use substitution to solve the following system of linear equations and fill in the following blanks:

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

$x=-4$

$y=3$

$z=-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

$x+y+z=-6$

$x-6y-7z=-29$

$-7y-5z=4$

<u>Solve for </u> $x$ <u> in the 1st equation:</u>

$x+y+z=-6$

$x+y=-z-6$

$x=-y-z-6$

<u>Substitute the value of </u> $x$ <u> into the 2nd equation and solve for </u> $z$ <u>:</u>

$x-6y-7z=-29$

$(-y-z-6)-6y-7=-29$

$-7y-z-13=-29$

$-7y-z=-16$

$-z=-16+7y$

$z=16-7y$

<u>Substitute the value of </u> $z$ <u> into the 3rd equation and solve for </u> $y$ <u>:</u>

$-7y-5z=4$

$-7y-5(16-7y)=4$

$-7y-80+35y=4$

$28y-80=4$

$28y=84$

$y=3$

<u>Plug </u> $y=3$ <u> into the solved expression for </u> $z$ <u> and evaluate to solve for </u> $z$ <u>:</u>

$z=16-7(3)$

$z=16-21$

$z=-5$

<u>Plug </u> $z=-5$ <u> into the solved expression for </u> $x$ <u> and evaluate to solve for </u> $x$ <u>:</u>

$x=-(3)-(-5)-6$

$x=-3+5-6$

$x=2-6$

$x=-4$

Therefore:

$x=-4$

$y=3$

$z=-5$
