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
Same as before
total=(2w+75)(2w+35)=4w²+220w+2625
pool=75 times 35=2625
minus pool from total
4w²+220w+2625-2625=4w²+220w
A. There is one solution. The solution is where the lines intersect. Because both are linear and do not have the same slope, they will only cross once.
B. The solution is (3,4) since this is the coordinate at which the two lines intersect.
Substitute X or Y With 0 So It Would Be 3/5(0) +1/2y = 30
1/2y=30
Divide Get Y And Do The Same For X
