Answer:
307
Step-by-step explanation:
free points
Let 'x' be the distance from THE far bank where 700 is the distance to the NEAR bank
boat one has travelled 700 (rate = 700/unit time) boat two has travelled x rate = x / unit time
boat one then travels x + 400 more and boat two travels 700 + (700+x -400) more when they meet
The time is the same rate x time = distance distance/rate = time equate the distances divided by the respective rates
(700 + x + 400)/700 = ( x + 700 + (700+x-400) )/x
1100x + x^2 = 1400x + 700000
x^2-300x -700000 = 0 quadratic formula yields x = 1000
One boat travels 700 the other 1000 whe they first meet.....width of river = 700+ 1000 = 1700 m
Answer:
x > -3/7
Step-by-step explanation:
6x - 2(x + 2) > 2 - 3(x + 3)
Distribute the two and three inside the parenthesis.
6x - 2x - 4 > 2 - 3x - 9
Combine like terms.
4x - 4 > -3x - 7
Add 4 to both sides.
4x > -3x - 3
Add 3x to both sides.
7x > -3
Divide both sides by 7.
x > -3/7
