Small tug boats pull cruise ships up and down rivers to prevent them from grounding. Cruise ships anchor 22 km away from the riv

er port. A tug boat can travel 20 km downstream in the same time it takes it to travel 10 km upstream. If the speed of the current is 5 km/h, calculate the time it takes for the tug boats to travel upstream from the cruise ship to the river port.

Answer:

2.2 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the boat in km/h be x.

Then, the speed downstream is (x+5), and the speed upstream is (x-5).

We know the speed downstream is twice the speed upstream, so

x+5=2(x-5) \\ \\ x+5=2x-10 \\ \\ x=15

This means the speed upstream is 10 km/h. Thus, to travel 22 km, it will take 2.2 hrs.

Could someone explain how to solve this? Thanks!

Since B is the midpoint, set the expressions as an equation and solve for x. So 3x-2=6x-5.
x will be 1. Substituting 1 for x, that means AB=1 and BC=1 So AC will be 2.
Your answer is 2

Write the linear equation in slope intercept form 1,3 and -3,-5
oksian1 [2.3K]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have two points through which the line passes:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 1,3)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 3, -5)

We found the slope:

m = \frac{y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}

Substituting we have:

m = \frac {-5-3} {- 3-1} = \frac {-8} {- 4} = 2

Thus, the equation is of the form:

y = 2x + b

We substitute one of the points and find the cut-off point:

3 = 2 (1) + b\\3 = 2 + b\\3-2 = b\\b = 1

Finally, the equation is:

y = 2x + 1

ANswer:

y = 2x + 1
