Answer:
6.11km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the speed that Kelli swims be represented by Y
Speed of the river = 5km/hr
Distance = Speed × Time
Kelli swam upstream for some distance in one hour
Swimming upstream takes a negative sign, hence:
1 hour ×( Y - 5) = Distance
Distance = Y - 5
She then swam downstream the same river for the same distance in only 6 minutes
Downstream takes a positive sign
Converting 6 minutes to hour =
60 minutes = 1 hour
6 minutes =
Cross Multiply
6/60 = 1/10 hour
Hence, Distance =
1/10 × (Y + 5)
= Y/10 + 1/2
Equating both equations we have:
Y - 5 = Y/10 + 1/2
Collect like terms
Y - Y/10 = 5 + 1/2
9Y/10 = 5 1/2
9Y/ 10 = 11/2
Cross Multiply
9Y × 2 = 10 × 11
18Y = 110
Y = 110/18
Y = 6.1111111111 km/hr
Therefore, Kelli's can swim as fast as 6.11km/hr still in the water.
To do solve this you must isolate x. First subtract 16 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 16 is being added to x, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the left side and bring it over to the right side.
x + (16 - 16) = 24 - 16
x = 8
Check:
8 + 16 = 24
24 = 24
Hope this helped!

Answer:
negative
Step-by-step explanation:
b is a negative number because it is less than -1, so b/5 is a negative number because negative/positive = negative
So 115 divided by 5 is 23, so the answer is 23.
If y = 6 when x = 8, then value of "x" when y = 9 is equal to 12
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that , In a certain function, y varies directly with x
And x = 8 when y = 6,
We have to find what will be the value of x when y = 9
Now, from the given information,

where c is the proportionality constant

Hence, x value is 12 when y value is 9
