If the rate of the boat in still water is 27 mph, and the rate of the current of a river is x mph, what is the rate of the boat

in each case? a) The boat is going upstream (that is, against the current, which slows the boat down.) b) The boat is going downstream (that is, with the current, which speeds the boat up.) a) The rate of the boat when the boat is going upstream is (_) mph. b) The rate of the boat when the boat is going downstream is (_) mph.

Answer:

a)27-x

b)27+x

Step-by-step explanation:

when a boat travels in the same direction as the current is downstream-->speeds the boat. If the rate of the boat in still water is 27 mph and the rate of the current of a river is x mph, the rate of the boat when the boat is going downstream is 27+x

when a boat travels against the current is upstream-->slow down. If the rate of the boat in still water is 27 mph and the rate of the current of a river is x mph, the rate of the boat when the boat is going upstream is 27-x

In the solution, 3b + 9c = 3(b + 3). What should be done to make it CORRECT?
stiks02 [169]

The second term of the binomial factor should be 3c instead of 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property:

a*b + a*c = a*(b +c)

3b + 9c = 3*b + 3* 3 *c = 3*(b + 3c)

Find the area of the shaded region.<br> help pls
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

1. 50 m

2. 80 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. There are 2 triangles, subtract the area of 1 of them from the other.

The triangle that needs to be subtracted: b = 20 m, h = 10 m

A = 1/2b * h = 1/2(20) * 10 = 10*10 = 100 m

The big triangle, the one that needs to be subtracted plus the one you need to find the area of: b = 20 cm, h = 15 cm, 1/2(20) * 15 = 10 * 15 = 150

150 - 100 = 50 c

2. Divide it into 3 parts:

1- 3*4 = 12

2. 7*(4 + 4) = 7*8 = 56

3. [(4 + 4) * (13 - 7 - 3)]/2 = (8*3)/2 = 24/2 = 12

12 + 56 + 12 = 80 cm
