Equivalent expression is asking for you to simplify by adding like terms and eliminatino parenthesis. Use the PEMDAS.
The speed of the current is 7 miles per
hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let × represent speed of the current.
We have been given that a motorboat
maintained a constant speed of 11 miles per
hour relative to the water in going 18 miles
upstream and then returning.
The speed of motorboat while going
upstream would be 11
The speed of motorboat while going
downstream would be 11 + 2

Using proportions, it is found that his tax rate is of 28.84%.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct(when both increase or both decrease) or inverse proportional(when one increases and the other decreases, or vice versa), can be built to find the desired measures in the problem, or equations to find these measures.
His tax rate is the proportion that the <u>deductions are of the total salary</u>, hence:
12,200/42,300 = 0.2884 = 28.84%.
Hence his tax rate is of 28.84%.
