Answer: x = 3, y = 1, z = 2
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
EQ 1: x - y - z = 0
EQ 3:<u> -x + 2y + z = 1 </u>
y = 1
EQ 2: 2x - 3y + 2z = 7 → 1(2x - 3y + 2z = 7) → 2x - 3y + 2z = 7
EQ 3: -x + 2y + z = 1 → -2( -x + 2y + z = 1) → <u>-2x + 4y + 2z = 2</u>
y + 4z = 9
y = 1 ⇒ 1 + 4z = 9
4z = 8
z = 2
Input y = 1 and z = 2 into one of the equations to solve for x:
EQ 1: x - y - z = 0
x - (1) - (2) = 0
x - 3 = 0
x = 3
Check:
EQ 2: 2x - 3y + 2z = 7
2(3) - 3(1) + 2(2) = 7
6 - 3 + 4 = 7
3 + 4 = 7
7 = 7
Answer: 28 %
Step-by-step explanation:
Let, Initially,
V be the volume of construction work
r be the productivity of labor
n be the number of days
x be the number workers.
Thus, V = r × n × x ------------(1)
Now, According to the question,
The volume of construction work was increased by 60% but the productivity of labor increased by only 25%.
Therefore,
Final volume of the work = 160% of V = 1.6 V
Final productivity = 125% of r = 1.25 r
Also, the time is same in both conditions,
Final time taken = n
Let y be the number of people after changes.
Thus, 1.6 V = 1.25 r × n × y -----(2)
Dividing equation (1) by equation (2)
We get, y = 1.60 x/1.25
Thus, the changes in the number of workers
=
= 0.28 × 100
= 28 %
