Answer:

9 labours

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, we must know which kind of proportionality is this. There are two types of proportions, direct and indirect/inverse proportions. In direct proportion, if one quantity increases, the other quantity also increases.

In indirect proportion, if one quantity increases, the other decreases and vice versa.

As per this question, we know if the number of labour increases, the number of days to complete a work decreases, thus proving that this is an indirect/inverse proportion.

6 labours => 12 days

x labours =>  8 days

Since its an inverse proprotion, multiply 6 with 12, and x with 8.

8x = 6 × 12

x = \frac{6*12}{8}

∴ x = <u>9 labours</u>

Determine the equation
sergejj [24]

Answer:

y=\frac{3}{4} x-\frac{5}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

two points on the line are

(-1, -2)

(-5, -5)

The slope:

m=\frac{-2-(-5)}{-1-(-5)} =\frac{-2+5}{-1+5} =\frac{3}{4}

The equation:

with (-1,-2)

y-(-2)=\frac{3}{4} (x-(-1))

y+2=\frac{3}{4} x+\frac{3}{4}

y=\frac{3}{4} x+\frac{3}{4} -\frac{8}{4}

y=\frac{3}{4} x-\frac{5}{4}

Hope this helps

Solve whether the equation have 1 solution no solution or infinity solution
babymother [125]
Steps to solving equations:
Simplify/combine the like terms
Isolate the variable (Get the variable on one side
Solve for the variable

-2y - 7 + 5y = 13 - 2y Simplify/Combine terms
3y -7 = 13 - 2y Isolate variable by adding 2y to both sides
5y - 7 = 13 Add 7 to both sides to get y alone on one side
5y = 20 Divide by 5 on both sides to solve for y
y = 4
You can check your answer by replacing y with 4 in the original equation.

I need help with this equation please!<br><br> 15- w/4 = 28
Luda [366]

Answer:

w= -52

Step-by-step explanation:

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand  

15-w/4=28

Simplifying:

15-0.25w=28

We move all terms containing w to the left and all other terms to the right.  

-0.25w=+28-15

We simplify left and right side of the equation.  

-0.25w=+13

We divide both sides of the equation by -0.25 to get w.  

w= -52

Hope it Helps :) !!

PLEASE HELP!
Rasek [7]

Answer:

The percent markup is, \simeq 60.89 % .

Step-by-step explanation:

A pair of shoes cost $ 22.99 to make, the local store sells them for $ 36.99.

So, the increased value for each pair of shoes,

= $ (36.99 - 22.99)

=$ 14

So, the percent markup is,

\frac {14 \times 100}{22.99} %

\simeq 60.89 %
