So first you subtract 2001-1682=319.
There is just 1 step, and it is hard to show work here.
Hope this helped! :)
False -1 is not a solution.
Question is using standard formula ax+by=c to find the slope by converting into slope intercept form y=mx+b
so we also need to convert ax+by=c into y=mx+b as shown below:



divide both sides by

Now compare it with y=mx+b, we get

So using values of a and b, we can find the slope
compare given equation -5x+2y=15 with ax+by=c, we get:
a=-5, b=2
Now plug both into above formula



Now matching these details with given choices we find that THIRD choice is the final answer.
Answer:
<em>Worker B needs 9 days to finish the rest of the work</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportions</u>
Worker A finishes a project on his own in 12 days and worker B does the same in 16 days.
Worker A does 1/12 of the project in one day and worker B does 1/16 of the project in one day. When working together, they do

After 3 days they have completed:

parts of the project, this means it still remains:

parts of the project and it is done by B alone. Since B does
per day, he now takes

days to complete the project.
Worker B needs 9 days to finish the rest of the work
8 will go into 66 , 8.25 times
