Let 'x' be the distance from THE far bank where 700 is the distance to the NEAR bank
boat one has travelled 700 (rate = 700/unit time) boat two has travelled x rate = x / unit time
boat one then travels x + 400 more and boat two travels 700 + (700+x -400) more when they meet
The time is the same rate x time = distance distance/rate = time equate the distances divided by the respective rates
(700 + x + 400)/700 = ( x + 700 + (700+x-400) )/x
1100x + x^2 = 1400x + 700000
x^2-300x -700000 = 0 quadratic formula yields x = 1000
One boat travels 700 the other 1000 whe they first meet.....width of river = 700+ 1000 = 1700 m
Answer: the scale factor is 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 5x -56
Step-by-step explanation:
Delta y over Delta x for slope. Plug in x = 0 for y int.
y = 5(0) -56
y = -56
Answer:
The answer is no solution.
Step-by-step explanation: First, you would add + 12 to both sides of the equation so that you would have 5c + 21 = 5c. Then, you would subtract 5c from both sides of the equation. This would leave you with 21 = 0. Since this is not true, the equation would have no solution.
