Work done by (x+4) men in (x+5) days is equal to the word done by (x-5) men is (x+20) days. Then the value of x is
Let Work done by $$(x+4)$$ men in $$(x+5)$$ days = 1 unit
$$=$$> Work done by 1 man in 1 day = $$\frac{\ 1}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)}$$
Also Work done ny $$(x-5)$$ men in $$(x+20)$$ days = 1 unit
$$=$$> Work done by 1 man in 1 day =Â $$\frac{\ 1}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+20\right)}$$
$$\therefore\ \frac{\ 1}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)}=\frac{\ 1}{\left(x-5\right)\left(x+20\right)}$$
$$=$$>Â $$\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)=\left(x-5\right)\left(x+20\right)$$
$$=$$> Â $$x^2+9x+20=x^2+15x-100$$
$$=$$>Â $$6x=120$$
$$=$$>Â $$x=20$$
