Answer:

10 days and 16 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

15 men work in 16 days to complete the work. So 1 man contributes 16/15 days.

For 20 men there is an addition of 5 men. [20–15)* 16/15] days = 16/3 days. Substract 16/3 days from 16 days = 16 - (16/3) = 10 days and 16 hours.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 20 men will take x days to complete the work.

Since, there is a relation of inverse proportion between no of men and no of days.

Therefore,

$20x = 16 \times 15 \\ \\ x = \frac{240}{20} \\ \\ x = 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify.

$\displaystyle V_P = 2x^3 - 6x^2 + 8x$

$\displaystyle V_C = 27x^3$

Step 2: Find Combined Volume

[Set up] Add: $\displaystyle V_P + V_C = V_{P + C}$
Substitute in variables: $\displaystyle V_{P + C} = 27x^3 + 2x^3 - 6x^2 + 8x$
Combine like terms: $\displaystyle V_{P + C} = 29x^3 - 6x^2 + 8x$

What value of x makes this equation true?

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

-1.8 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

12(x+3)=-8x

Distribute

12x +36 = -8x

Subtract 12x from each side

12x-12x +36 = -8x-12x

36 = -20x

Divide each side by -20

36/-20 = -20x/-20

-9/5 = x

Changing to decimal form

-1.8 =x
