Answer:

10 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of boat in still water = x

speed of current = 5

speed of boat with current (downstream) = x + 5

speed of boat against current (upstream) = x - 5

distance downstream = 9

distance upstream = 3

time = t

speed = distance/time

distance = speed × time

downstream:

9 = (x + 5)t

upstream:

3 = (x - 5)t

9 = xt + 5t

3 = xt - 5t

9 = xt + 5t

-3 = -xt + 5t

-----------------

6 = 10t

t = 0.6

9 = (x + 5)0.6

15 = x + 5

x = 10

8x + 11 = 2(4x - 7) + 25<br> Step by step please!
Dimas [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 11=2(4x-7) + 25

8x + 11 = 8x - 14 + 25

8x + 11=8x- 14 + 14 +25 + 11

8x-8x + 11 -11 = 14 + 25 + 11

8x-8x =14 + 25 + 11

X = 50

Please help (the question is in the attached image)
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

a.the length of midsegment of an equilateral triangle with side lengths of 12.5 cm.=12.5/2=6.25cm

b.

sinceUT is the perpendicular bisector of line segment AB, where T is on AB, find the length of AT given AT = 3x + 6 and TB = 42 - x.

than AT=BT

3x+6=42-x

3x+x=42-6

x=36/4=9

AT=3×9+6=27+6=33

c.

since angle EFG has angle bisector FH, where EF = GF, find the value of y if EH = 5y + 10 and HG = 28 - y.

EH=GH

5y+10=28-y

6y=28-10

y=18/6=3

How can you approximate the square root of 30?
Ierofanga [76]
You can approximate the square root of 30 by taking the square root of a number close to it. This is called local linearization. You can take the square root of 36, which is 6, and the square root of 25, which is 5, and state that the square root of 30 is approximately somewhere between 5 and 6
