Step-by-step explanation:

using elimination method because this is a simultaneous equation

3×x+6×y=111

x+y=27

1×[3x+6y=111]

3×[x+y=27]

3x+6y=111—equation 1

3x+3y=81—equation 2

substrate equation 1 from equation 2

3y=30

divide both sides by 3

y=10

substitute 10 for y in equation 1

3x+6y=111

3x+6(10)=111

3x+60=111

3x=111-60

3x=51

divide both sides by 3

x=17

A boat travels 105 km downstream in 5 hours. The return trip upstream takes 7 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water a
notsponge [240]
Speed of the boat = u
speed of the current = v

in downstream,
u - v = 105/5
u - v = 21

in upstream
u + v = 105/7
u + v = 15

add both equations
2u = 36
u = 18

v = -3

so
speed of the boat = 18 km/h
speed of the current = 3 km/h

Let the width of room be =x mtrs

Then the length is x+2 mtrs

As Perimeter = 2(l+b) = 2(x+x+2)

16 = 2 ( 2x+2)

16/2 = 2x +2

8=2x+2

2x= 8-2 = 6

x = 6/2 =3 mtrs

Therefore width of the room is 3 mtrs
