Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's because any number multiplied by 0 equals 0. We could put any 2 numbers other than 2.7 and 2.8 yet still get both sides of the  equation = - 5.9 but the 2 sides are obviously not equal.

To do the test correctly he can use any number except 0.

Answer:

Sample Response: The coefficients of x are different in the expressions, but the constant values are the same. Zero times any value is zero, so both expressions will be equal to –5.9. If Ryan tried any other number, he would see that the expressions are not equivalent.

So... 4 folks, working for 8hours per day, do it in 15days

hmm alrite...so 4 folks working for 8hrs in 1 day, each one does 8, 4 of them, 4*8 = 32, so, they do 32 workhours every day, now for 15 days, that'd be 32*15, or 480

so, the whole job really takes 480 hours

now hmm let's see, the firm decides to increase the folks, but decrease the hours, so, 5 folks each working 6hours every day

how many workhours total? well 5*6 = 30
each is working 6hrs, 5 of them, so 30 workhours

how long will it take them if they only do 30 workhours everyday?

well the whole job is 480hours

\bf \cfrac{30hrs}{day}=480hrs\implies \cfrac{30hrs}{480hrs}=day\implies \cfrac{1}{16}=day
\\\\\\
\textit{so, if they do }\frac{1}{16}\textit{ daily, to complete, they'd need }\frac{16}{16}\\
\\\\\
\textit{for the whole, thus }16 days
