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 solution of log2 (3x-7) =3
Valentin [98]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

because the log is base 2 you can remove the log by raing 2 to the power of each side:

2^{log2 (3x-7)} = 2^{3}

the 2 and log2 cancel leaving:

3x-7 = 2^{3}

this means we can now solve through simple algebra:

3x-7 = 8\\3x = 8 + 7\\3x = 15\\3x/3 =15/3\\x = 5
