a motorboat travels 371 kilometers in 7 hours going upstream. it travels 525 kilometers going downstream in the same amount of t
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Speed of boat in still water = 64 km/hr

Speed of the current = 11 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of motorboat in still water = x km/hr

Let the speed of current = y km/hr

Motorboat travels 371 km in 7 hours going upstream.

Speed of motorboat while going upstream = speed of motorboat in still water - speed of current = (x-y)

=> \[x-y = \frac{371}{7}\]

=> \[x-y = 53\] ------------------------------(1)

Motorboat travels 525 km in 7 hours going downstream.

Speed of motorboat while going downstream = speed of motorboat in still water + speed of current = (x+y)

=> \[x+y = \frac{525}{7}\]

=> \[x+y = 75\] -----------------------------(2)

Solving for x and y from (1) and (2):

Adding (1) and (2):

2x = 128

=> x = 64

Substituting the value of x in (1), y = 11

Subtract (–x – 2) – (4x + 3).
Alekssandra [29.7K]
The first set of parentheses is unnecessary, so just drop it.
The second set of parentheses has a negative sign to its left.
To simplify the second set of parentheses, change every sign inside the parentheses. Then combine like terms.

<span>(–x – 2) – (4x + 3) =

= - x - 2 - 4x - 3

= -x - 4x - 2 - 3

= -5x - 5
