Answer:
10 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
speed of boat in still water = x
speed of current = 5
speed of boat with current (downstream) = x + 5
speed of boat against current (upstream) = x - 5
distance downstream = 9
distance upstream = 3
time = t
speed = distance/time
distance = speed × time
downstream:
9 = (x + 5)t
upstream:
3 = (x - 5)t
9 = xt + 5t
3 = xt - 5t
9 = xt + 5t
-3 = -xt + 5t
-----------------
6 = 10t
t = 0.6
9 = (x + 5)0.6
15 = x + 5
x = 10
I do not believe so but dont quote me on it.
The common difference in this sequence is -16 because each number decreases by 16 from the last
using the conversion factor the speed of the car is 44.74 miles/hr
Answer:
b = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
use distributive property to multiply the -2 with the numbers in the parentheses
3 - 2b + 4 = 2 - 7b
7 - 2b = 2 - 7b
add 2b to both sides
7 = 2- 5b
subtract 2 from both sides
5 = -5b
divide by -5
b = -1
