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:

12

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

Last month, he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550. This month, he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for
STALIN [3.7K]
Answer: chicken $8, duck $5

Explanation:

x - the cost of a chicken
y - the cost of a duck

he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y = 550
he sold 44 chickens and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532

50x + 30y = 550                divide by 10
44x + 36y = 550                 divide by 4
______________
50x/10 + 30y/10 = 550/10
44x/4 + 36y/4 = 532/4
______________
5x + 3y = 55                                    
Multiply by (-3)
11x + 9y = 133
______________
5x * (-3) + 3y * (-3) = 55 * (-3)
11x + 9y = 133
______________
-15x - 9y = -165
11x + 9y = 133
______________
Sum up:
-4x + 0y = -32
-4x = -32
x = -32/-4
x = 8

Since 5x + 3y = 55  and x = 8, then:
5 * 8 + 3y = 55
40 + 3y = 55
3y = 55 - 40
3y = 15
y = 15/3
y = 5

The difference between two numbers is 2 and their product is 224. What are the numbers?
Sati [7]

Let x,y be the two numbers. We have two pieces of information:

x-y=2 (the difference between the two numbers is 2)

xy=224 (their product is 224)

From the first equation, we can deduce x=y+2

If we plug this expression in the second equation, we have

xy = (y+2)y = 224 \iff y^2+2y-224 =0

If you solve this equation with the usual quadratic formula you get the solutions

y=-16,\quad y=14

So, you have the following couple of solutions, recalling that x is 2 more than y:

\begin{cases} x = -14\\y=-16\end{cases},\quad\begin{cases} x = 16\\y=14\end{cases}

A, B &amp; C lie on a straight line.
vekshin1

Answer:

x = 27°

Step-by-step explanation:

m<D

m<CBE = 63° (Given)

m<CBE = m<ABD (vertical angles)

m<ABD = 63° (substitution)

x = 180 - (m<ABD + m<D) (Sum of triangle)

x = 180 - (90 + 63)

x = 27°
