S1 = speed of boat 1

<span> t1 =  time to do 1400 meters (boat 1) </span>

S1*t1 = 1400

<span><span>S2  </span>= speed of boat 2 </span>

1400 + S2*t1 = X

t2 = time to do X + 600 (boat 2)

S1*t2 = X + 600

S2*t2 = 2X - 600

S1 = 1400/t1

S2 = (X-1400)/t1

<span>T = t2/t1  </span>

1400*T = X + 600

X*T - 1400*T = 2X - 600

X = 3600 meters

<span> River is 3600 meters wide</span>

F(x)=-3x+21,find x when f(x)=6
balu736 [363]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x)=-3x+21,

f(x)=6 = -3x+21

6 = -3x+21

Subtract 21 from each side

6-21 = -3x+21-21

-15 = -3x

Divide each side by -3

-15/-3 = -3x/-3

5 = x

kompoz [17]

Answer:

D) -10

Step-by-step explanation:
