I believe you meant "why is the number of shifts multiplied by approximately 4.5 to obtain the total number of operators required to run the plant"
Answer and Explanation:
There are 3 shifts per day, 49 weeks per year and 5 shifts per operator per week
To get total number of operators required to run the plant, we multiply number of shifts in a year by number if operators per shift.
49 weeks×5 shifts= 245 shifts per operator per year
365×3 shifts= 1095 shifts per year
1095/245=4.5 operators per shift
total number of operators required to run the plant(per day) = 4.5×3= 13.5 approximately 14
total number of operators required to run the plant(per year) =4.5×1095=4927.5 approximately 4928
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
x+8 = 2x +10
-2x + x = 10-8
-x = 2
divide both side by -1
answer -- x = -2
Answer:
24 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of Blake be x and the age of Heather by y then...
x=7+y
7+x+7+y=55
Notice we are adding additional 7s because the question states "in 7 years"
Simplify the second equation...
7+x+7+y=55
14+x+y=55
Subtract 21 from both sides
x+y=41
Solve using substitution (substitute 7+y for x since x = 7+y)
7+y+y=41
Combine like terms
2y+7=41
Subtract 7 from both sides
2y=34
Divide both sides by 2
y=17
x=7+17=24
Blake is 24 years old now
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simple one-step algebraic equation. In algebra, to find x you must isolate the variable. To do this, use the property of equality. This property states that an equation is still true if you do the same thing to both sides. For example, the equation would still be true if you added 1 to both sides.
To isolate x divide both sides by 6. This equals 48/6 = 6x/6. Which simplifies to 8=x.
