<span>Let us solve the problem using an equation. Let x be the speed of one of the boats. The speed of the other boat will be x + 9. Both the boats have traveled for 6 hours, starting from 12:00 noon to 6:pm The distance they have traveled within 6 hours is 126 miles. The distance traveled by the first boat is x*6 = 6x Miles The distance traveled by the other boat is (x + 9) 6 = 6x + 54 Miles Thus, 6x + 6x + 54 = 126 Miles 12x = 126 - 54 12x = 72 x = 72/12 x = 6 So the speed of one of the boats is 6 miles per hour and the speed of the other boats is 6 + 9 = 15 miles per hour.</span>

elixir [45]
I find it easier if you draw out people(not perfectly just make a circle or something) and then circle every 2 people to count for the men. There are 16 men in the gym.

Use the cubic model y = 5a3 - 2a2 + a - 45 to find the value of y when x = 4.
Naddik [55]

Assuming 5a3 equals 5a^3, and the same for everything else, you would plug in 4 for a, so 5(4)^3 - 2(4)^2 + 4 - 45, which equals 247.
