Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an inverse proportion.

men = k / Time         So first we need to find k

k = men * Time         Substitute values

k = 15*80

k = 1200  Notice the units are man days.

Now what happens if we increase the number of men to 20? What happens to the number of days.

20 = 1200 / time          Multiply both sides by time

20*time = 1200            Now divide by 20

time = 1200/20

Answer: time = 60 days

X/(x-2) + (x-1)/(x+1) = -1 <br><br> How to solve?
kirill115 [55]
Multiply entire equation by (x-2)(x+1) to get rid of the denominators That would lead to X(x+1)+(x-1)(x-2)=-1(x-2)(x+1)
Finally, using distributive property and foil, you would get x^2+x+x^2-3x+2=(-x^2+x+2).2x^2-2x+2=-x^2+x+23x^2-3x=0
3x(x-1)x=0 and x=1

Factoring polynomials HELP please step by step for extra points!
jok3333 [9.3K]
First you multiply the last term by the first term (3h+16h+15). Then find numbers that add to 16 and multiply to 15 then add or subtract it from (3h+15)(3h+1). Then factor if possible (h+5)(3h+1)
