2 = ( v + 2 ) × t1 ;
2 = ( v - 2 ) × t2 ;
t1 + t2 = 1 ;
where v is the speed of the boat in still water ; t1 is the time upstream ; t2 is the tome downstream ;
Then, v + 2 = 2 / t1 and v - 2 = 2 / t2 ;
v = 2 / t1 - 2 and v = 2 / t2 + 2 ;
2 / t1 - 2 = 2 / t2 + 2 ;
2 / t1 - 2 / t2 = 4 ;
1 / t1 - 1 / t2 = 2 ;
t2 - t1 = 2t1t2 ;
But, t2 = 1 - t1 ;
1 - t1 - t1 = 2t1( 1 - t1 ) ;
1 - 2t1 = 2t1 - 2t1^2 ;
2t1^2 - 4t1 + 1 = 0 ; quadratic equation ;
solving this equation ,
t1 ≈ 0.29 hour ;
v ≈ 2 / 0.29 - 2;
v ≈ 4.89 km/h ;

****Brainliest to best answer!!***<br> Thank u to everyone who helps!

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

When you read the question it says that her average speed from the library to the gym is 15 mph less than her speed from her home to the library. So x - 15 is what describes that situation.

If it is A it cannot be anything else.

B is incorrect. x - 15 is not a time. It is a rate. It can be used to develop the amount of time, but by itself it is still A.

C is incorrect. Her average speed from her house to the library is x

D is incorrect. The distance is given as the same as from her home to the library as from the library to the gym. Both are 4

Janson has quarters and dimes in his pocket. he counted 42 coins that added up to $7.50

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

28 quarters and 5 dimes

7(Q)+5(D)

7(4)+5(10)

28Q 50D Q=quarters D=dimes

it would be more efficient to do the substitution method bc its faster and easier

What is the simplified form of x plus 1 over x squared plus x minus 6 ÷ x squared plus 5x plus 4 over x plus 4 ?

Mumz [18]

Answer:

1 / (x-2)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question the expression:

(x + 1) / (x² + x - 6) ÷ (x² + 5x + 4) / (x+4)

factorisation of (x² + x - 6) = (x-2)(x+3) by using quadratic equation

(x + 1) / (x-2)(x+3) ÷ (x² + 5x + 4) / (x+4)

Taking reciprocal to convert ÷ into ×

(x + 1) / (x-2)(x+3) x (x+4) / (x² + 5x + 4)

factorisation of (x² + 5x + 4) = (x+1)(x+4) by using quadratic equation

(x + 1) / (x-2)(x+3) x (x+4) / (x+1)(x+4)

cancel (x + 1) from both expression

1 / (x-2)(x+3) x (x+4) / (x+4)

cancel (x+4)

1 / (x-2)(x+3) Simplified form

Help!! Solving absolute value inequalities

goblinko [34]

Answer:

48. $x \geq -7$ or $x \leq 31$

51. $x \leq 13$ or $x \geq 3$

54. $x < \frac{5}{2}$ or $x > \frac{-15}{2}$

57. $x < \frac{18}{7}$ or $x > -4$

Step-by-step explanation:

48. $| 12 - x | \leq 19$

-There are two equations:

Equation 1:

$12 - x \leq 19$

or

Equation 2:

$12 - x \geq -19$

Solving equation 1:

$12 - x \leq 19$

$12- 12 - x \leq 19 - 12$

$-x \leq 7$

$\frac{-x}{-1} \leq \frac{7}{-1}$

$x \geq -7$ (Inequality sign changed, because of dividing by a negative number)

-Solving equation 2:

$12 - x \geq -19$

$12 - 12 - x \geq -19 - 12$

$-x \geq -31$

$\frac{-x}{-1} \geq \frac{-31}{-1}$

$x \leq 31$ (Inequality sign changed, because of dividing by a negative number)

-Answers:

$x \geq -7$ or $x \leq 31$

51. $| x - 8 | \leq 5$

-There are two equations:

Equation 1:

$x - 8 \leq 5$

or

Equation 2:

$x - 8 \geq - 5$

-Solving equation 1:

$x - 8 \leq 5$

$x - 8 + 8 \leq 5 + 8$

$x \leq 13$

-Solving equation 2:

$x - 8 \geq - 5$

$x - 8 + 8 \geq - 5 + 8$

$x \geq 3$

Answers:

$x \leq 13$ or $x \geq 3$

54. $| 4x + 10 | < 20$

-There are two equations:

Equation 1:

$4x + 10 < 20$

or

Equation 2:

$4x + 10 > -20$

-Solving equation 1:

$4x + 10 < 20$

$4x + 10 - 10 < 20 - 10$

$4x < 10$

$\frac{4x}{4} < \frac{10}{4}$

$x < \frac{5}{2}$

-Solving equation 2:

$4x + 10 > -20$

$4x + 10 - 10 > -20 - 10$

$4x > -30$

$\frac{4x}{4} > \frac{-30}{4}$

$x > \frac{-15}{2}$

-Answers:

$x < \frac{5}{2}$ or $x > \frac{-15}{2}$

57. $| 7x + 5 | < 23$

-There are two equations:

Equation 1:

$7x + 5 < 23$

or

Equation 2:

$7x + 5 > -23$

-Solving equation 1:

$7x + 5 < 23$

$7x + 5 - 5 < 23 - 5$

$7x < 18$

$\frac{7x}{7} < \frac{18}{7}$

$x < \frac{18}{7}$

Solving equation 2:

$7x + 5 > -23$

$7x + 5 - 5 > -23 - 5$

$7x > -28$

$\frac{7x}{7} > \frac{-28}{7}$

$x > -4$

Answers:

$x < \frac{18}{7}$ or $x > -4$

And we are finished.
