Answer:</h3>
3 mi/h
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
Let c represent the speed of the current. Then 9+c is Nathan's speed downriver, and 9-c is Nathan's speed upriver. He travels 16 miles each way, so his total time is given by ...
... time = distance/speed
... total time = time downriver + time upriver
For distances in miles, speeds in miles per hour, and time in hours, this is ...
... 4 = 16/(9 +c) + 16/(9 -c)
... 9² -c² = 4(9 -c) +4(9+c) . . . . . multiply by (9+c)(9-c)/4
... 81 -c² = 72 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
... 9 = c² . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add c²-72
... c = 3
The speed of the current in the river is 3 mi/h.
Answer:
the answer is 51 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
i just did unit rate.. kinda hard to explain especially on computer... hope this helps.
when you solve an inequality the result is an interval when you solve an equation is a number or set ex x^2=25 x=-+5 the result is finite numbers
when you multimply an equation the sign inverses but when you solve an equation there is nothing to change
similiarities
you can add and subtract numbers from both sides
diving and multypling the equation or inequation by a positive numeber as i said in the beggining by multypling or dividing with a negative number the equation s sign inverses ex >= becomes <=
