A fisherman can row upstream at 4 mph and downstream at 6 mph. He started rowing upstream until he got tired and then rowed downstream to his starting point. The distance of how far the fisherman row if the entire trip took 2 hours is 9.6 miles

The speed of an object refers to the change of the object's distance within a specified time.
Mathematically, we can have;

Distance = speed × time
From the information given;
- The fisherman row upstream for 4 miles/ hour.
- The distance covered by the fisherman = 4 × t₁ ----- (1)
- The fisherman row downstream at 6 miles/ hour
- The distance covered by the fisherman = 6 × t₂ ------ (2)
- SInce it took the entire trip 2 hours, we can infer that:
From equation (2), replace the above value of t₂ into equation (2)
- d = 6 t₂
- d = 6(2 - t₁)
- d = 12 - 6t₁
From equation (1)
Equation both distance together, we have:
- 12 - 6t₁ = 4t₁
- 12 = 4t₁ + 6t₁
- 12 = 10t₁
- t₁ = 12/10
- t₁ = 1.2 hours
From t₂ = 2 - t₁
- t₂ = 2 - 1.2
- t₂ = 0.8 hours
From d = 4t₁
Replace t₁ with 1.2 hours
- d = 4(1.2 hours)
- d = 4.8 miles
Also, from d = 6t₂
Therefore, we can conclude that the distance of how far the fisherman row if the entire trip took 2 hours is (4.8+4.8) miles = 9.6 miles

Answer:
perimeter = 2(x + 5)
this is 2x + 10
x = 55 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
this question is a bit weird because they didn't put the units for 5, so I'm assuming it's in inches...
the perimeter of a rectangle will have two of each, so we can put the 2 outside the bracket since it applies to everything. We have x and we have 5 so put those in the bracket with a plus sign because you add when you're calculating the perimeter.
5 + 5 = 10
120 - 10 = 110 inches (this is 2x)
110 ÷ 2 = 55 inches
No. 1 = x
No. 2 = 2x+7
No. 3 = x-12
Answer:
x+(2x+7)+(x-12) = 131
From there you solve to get the numbers:
34, 75 and 22
