Answer:
- boat: 16 mph
- current: 4 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
speed = distance / time
The rate downriver is (60 mi)/(3 h) = 20 mi/h.
The rate upriver is (60 mi)/(5 h) = 12 mi/h.
The rate of the boat in still water is the average of these:
(20 +12)/2 mi/h = 16 mi/h
The rate of the current is the difference between the boat speed and actual speed:
16 mi/h - 12 mi/h = 4 mi/h
Starting equation:
92=J+L+B
To find how much money Jane has, we use the equation:
J=5+3L
To find how much money Bob has, we use the equation:
B=4L-1
Enter those equations in the problem
92=(5+3L)+L+(4L-1)
Combine like terms
92=4+8L
Subtract 4 to isolate variable
88=8L
Divide by 8 to isolate variable
11=L
Answer:
Lonnie has $11
Jane has $38
Bob has $43
side note: Lonnie is that one poor friend we all have
Pamela is incorrect. When you multiply anything negative by a negative, the product will always be a positive. Because the two negative signs cancel each other out.
