Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The sine of an angle is equal to the cosine of its complement, so

$4x+10=2x+16\\\\2x+10=16\\\\2x=6\\ \\ x=3$

A = a+b+c/3 Solve for b this is a literal equation problem please show steps

Answer:

$b=3A-a-c$

Step-by-step explanation:

$A=\frac{a+b+c}{3}$

Multiply both sides by 3

$3A=a+b+c$

Add $-b-c$ both sides

$3A-a-c=b$

$b=3A-a-c$

Keller boat travels 24mph. find the rate of the river if she can travel 6 mi upstream. in the same amount of time she can go 10

nikitadnepr [17]

The correct answer is:

6 mph.

Explanation:

We will use the formula d = rt for this, where d is distance, r is rate, and t is time.

We know that the time for both distances is the same; this means we want to isolate t in our formula. To do this, we will cancel r by dividing both sides:
d/r = rt/r
d/r = t

We will write an expression for the time upstream, an expression for the time downstream, and set them equal.

For the time upstream, the distance is 6 and the rate is 24-x; this gives us

$\frac{6}{24-x}$

For the time downstream, the distance is 10 and the rate is 24+x; this gives us

$\frac{10}{24+x}$

Together, these give us the equation

$\frac{6}{24-x}=\frac{10}{24+x}$

We cross-multiply to solve this:
6(24+x) = 10(24-x)

Using the distributive property, we have
6*24 + 6*x = 10*24 - 10*x
144+6x = 240-10x

Adding 10x to each side,
144+6x+10x = 240-10x+10x
144+16x = 240

Subtract 144 from each side:
144+16x-144 = 240-144
16x = 96

Divide both sides by 16:
16x/16 = 96/16
x = 6
