Speed because speed is key
Answer:
The speed of the boat in still water is 18 mph.
The speed of the current is 2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.
Let y represent the speed of the current.
When the boat goes against the current, the speed is 16 mph. Assuming it traveled against the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x - y) mph. It means that
x - y = 16 (equation 1)
Going downstream, the boat averages 20 mph. Assuming it traveled with the current, its total speed would be (x + y) mph. It means that
x + y = 20 (equation 2)
Adding both equations, it becomes
2x = 36
x = 36/2
x = 18 mph
Substituting x = 18 into equation 1, it becomes
18 - y = 16
y = 18 - 16
y = 2 mph
Answer:
AB : Y= 4 CB: Y= -1

I think?? I'm so so sorry I didn't really pay attention to these shape figures in math :(((
Hello!
Since the angles are same side alternate angles they are equal to each other
60 - 2x = 70 - 4x
We solve this algebraically
Add 4x to both sides
60 + 2x = 70
Subtract 60 from both sides
2x = 10
divide both sides by 2
x = 5
Hope this helps!
