<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>

Use the slope intercept form to write the equation of the line passing through the given point with the given slope (0, -3/4) m=
Paladinen [302]

Hello!

The slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b. In this form, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Since we are given the slope, which is -1/2, and the y-intercept which is (0, -3/4). This means that the value of b is -3/4.

So therefore, the equation of the function is: y = -1/2x + -3/4.

Would I be right if I said 21pi/10 and -pi/10 are two angles coterminal with pi/10?
Anna71 [15]
Two angles are coterminal if they differentiate in a factor of k*(2pi). This is  a multiple of 360 degrees.

In this case 21 [pi /10] = [pi / 10] + 20 [pi/10] = [pi/10] + 2pi, then 21pi/10 is coterminal with pi/10.

In the case of -pi/10 you cannot get to pi/10 by adding a multiple of 2pi , then they are not coternminals.

Conclusion: you would not be right.

Solve for . Simplify your answer as much as possible. please help
Sonja [21]

Answer:

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

-34=7(x+8)+8x

First, distribute the 7 into the (x+8) and simplify:

-34=7(x)+7(8)+8x\\-34=7x+56+8x

Combine the like terms 7x and 8x by adding them together:

-34=56+15x

Subtract 56 from both sides to isolate the x:

-34-56=15x+56-56\\15x=-90

Divide both sides by 15 to get x:

x=-90/15=-6
