R=rate of boat in still water
c=rate of current
d=rt
since you're given that the time it takes to travel the same distance downstream and upstream, your equation will be d_1=d_2, or rt=rt
the rate upstream is r-c and the rate downstream is r+c (because the boat's and river's rates add up)
since you know t_1 and t_1 are 5 and 3, you can now set up 2 equations
<u>5*(r-c)=45</u> because (time upstream)*(rate upstream)=distance=45 miles
r-c=45/5=9
<u>3*(r+c)=45</u>
r+c=45/3=15
r-c=9 and r+c=15, so r=12 mi/h and c=3 mi/h

1. The county fair charges $1.25 per ticket for the rides. Jermaine bought 25 tickets for the rides and spent a total of $43.75
ryzh [129]
If this were to be graphed, the independent variable would be the price of the ticket for the rides. The dependent variable would be the total cost.

The fair admission is not a variable because it is a constant price for every single person who goes into the fair.

The problem asks to use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets. In order to fully write out the equation, we have to figure out what the fair admission costs.

43.75 = 1.25(25) + b

*b represents the fair admission

Multiply 1.25 by 25

43.75 = 31.25 + b

Subtract 31.25 to find what b costs.

12.50 = b

The fair admission costs $12.50.

Solution: y = 1.25x + 12.50

In triangle ABC , m angle A=(3x)^ , m angle B=(3x+10)^ , and m angle C=(4x-30)^ Find m m angle C
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Interior angles of a triangle = 180°

3x°+3x+10°+4x-30°=180°

10x°-20°=180°

10x°=180°+20°

10x°= 200°

10x°/10=200°/10

x°=20°
