4x + 2y = 8
y = mx + b
Subtract 4x from both side
2y = 8 - 4x
Divided each term by 2
y = 4 - 2x
y = -2x + 4

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is -2
m = -2
The equation of a perpendicular line to y = -2x + 4 must has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.

M perpendicular = - 1/-2

Move the negative infront of the fraction
M perpendicular = 1/2

Solution:

the boat's speed in still water: x

The speed with current: (x+3)

The speed against current: (x-3)

The equation is

3(x+3) = 4(x-3)

x = 21 mph

The distance = 3*(21+3)= 72 miles

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider Cotters paid "x" dollars:

According to given condition:

Moores paid "x+6" dollars.

Both paid total $30

Hence,

(x) + (x+6) = 30

Solving for x:

2x +6 = 30

    2x = 30-6

    2x = 24

       x = 24/2

       x = 12

So amount paid by Moores  = x +6 = 12+6 = $18

*****To find number of pairs of skates: price of one pair must be given.

Please post complete question.
