to be a parallelogram its front sides must be equal to each other

so, we equalize the length of two sides that are face to face

$\begin{gathered} 5w-25=w+15 \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

and solve for w

$\begin{gathered} 5w-w=15+25 \\ 4w=40 \\ w=\frac{40}{4} \\ \\ w=10 \end{gathered}$

the value of w must be 10

Let Home runs = X

Triples would be X-3 ( 3 less triples than home runs)

Doubles would be 3x ( 3 times as many doubles as home runs)

Singles would be 45(x-3) ( 45 times as many singles as triples)

Simplify the equation for singles to be 45x-153

Now you have X + x-3 + 3x + 4x-135 = 262

Simplify:

50x - 138 = 262

Add 138 to both sides:

50x = 400

Divide both sides by 50:

x = 400/50

x = 8

Home runs = x = 8

Triples = x-3 = 8-3 = 5

Doubles = 3x = 3(8) = 24

Singles = 45(x-3) = 45(8-3) = 45(5) = 225

A certain ferry moves up and down a river between Town A and

Blizzard [7]

Answer: 60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

It takes ferry 2 hours to travel to town A and only $1.5\ hr$ to travel back to town B.

Speed of current is $u=5\ mph$

Suppose the speed of the ferry is $v$ mph

Distance traveled in both the cases is same, but it took more time traveling to city A that is, ferry is moving upstream and downstream for returning time.

$\Rightarrow 2(v-5)=1.5(v+5)\\\Rightarrow 2v-10=1.5v+7.5\\\Rightarrow 0.5v=17.5\\\Rightarrow v=35\ mph$

Distance between the towns is $2\times (35-5)=60\ \text{miles}$
