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

What is the total cost of a $150.00 necklace if the sales tax is 6.5%
LiRa [457]
The best thing to do is to find what 1% is, and you can do this by dividing 150 by 100.
150/100= 1.5
As you're looking for 6.5%, you've got to multiply 1.5 by 6.5
1.5*6.5= 9.75
You've then got to add 9.75 and 150 together
150+9.75= $159.75
Therefore, after the sales tax, the cost of the necklace is $159.75 
Hope this helps :)

Find the solution of this system of equations.
solmaris [256]
X=5+y

Substitute the value of x in second equation
28x – 9y= -12
28 (5+y)-9y =-12
140 +28y -9y =-12
140 +19y= -12
19y = - 152
y= -8



Now let's find the value of x using y

x= 5+y
x= 5 + (-8)
= -3

So,
x= -3
y=-8
