First no. = x
Second no. = y

Equation Formation.
x = 2 y + 5
x - 2 y = 5.........equation (i)

x + y - 1 = 16
x + y = 17............. equation(ii)

Solving Equation
x + y = 17
x - 2 y = 5
     ⇅
3 y = 12
   y = 4

x = 2 y +5 
x = 2(4) + 5
 x = 13

Answer = 4 , 13

two ferries start moving toward each other from opposite riverbanks, a and b. when they pass each other for the first time, the
Usimov [2.4K]

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

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

0.004 km; 400 cm; 4000 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

1 km = 1000 m

1 = (1 km)/(1000 m)

4 m * (1 km)/(1000 m) = 4/1000 km = 0.004 km

1 m = 100 cm

1 = (100 cm)/(1 m)

4 m * (100 cm)/(1 m) = 400 cm

1 m = 1000 mm

1 = (1000 mm)/(1 m)

4 m * (1000 mm)/(1 m) = 4000 mm

Answer: 0.004 km; 400 cm; 4000 mm
