Seventeen 4742

Seventeen workers produce more than 15 workers by 46 products. How many products will 20 workers make?

Correct answer:

x =  460

Step-by-step explanation:


17a = 46 + 15a
x = 20a

17·a = 46 + 15·a
x = 20·a

2a = 46
20a-x = 0

Pivot: Row 1 ↔ Row 2
20a-x = 0
2a = 46

Row 2 - 2/20 · Row 1 → Row 2
20a-x = 0
0.1x = 46


x = 46/0.1 = 460
a = 0+x/20 = 0+460/20 = 23

a = 23
x = 460
