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,

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

Which is the graph of linear inequality 6x+2y>-10

NemiM [27]

For this case we have the following inequality:
$6x + 2y\ \textgreater \ -10
$
The first thing we must do is to graph the linear function:
$6x + 2y = -10
$
Then, we must evaluate ordered pairs in the following way:
(x, y)
The ordered pairs that meet the inequality, will be included as part of the graph.
Therefore, the shaded region contains all the ordered pairs that meet the inequality.
