Answer: The speed of the boat in still water is 6.5 mph.

The speed of the current is 2.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.

Let y represent the speed of the current.

A boat going upstream on The River averages 4 mph. Assuming it travelled against the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x - y) mph. It means that

x - y = 4- - - - - - - - - - - -1

Going downstream, the boat averages 9 mph. Assuming it travelled with the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x + y) mph. It means that

x + y = 9- - - - - - - - - - - -2

Adding both equations, it becomes

2x = 13

x = 13/2

x = 6.5 mph

Substituting x = 6.5 into equation 1, it becomes

6.5 - y = 4

y = 6.5 - 4

y = 2.5 mph

Please solve and give me the answer. Please show me how you solved it too.
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°.

4x + x + 60 = 180

5x + 60 = 180

5x = 120

x = 24

Help please and show the steps! thank you!​
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

#1.  x = -1

Answer = 8

#2. x = 1/5

Answer = 344/25

#3. x = 14

Answer =  13328

Step-by-step explanation:

#1. a. plug in -1

f(-1)= (5(-1)^3) - (2(-1)^2 - (-1) + 14

b. Solve the exponents.

(5(-1)^3)

(5x-1)

(-5) - (2(-1)^2) - (-1) + 14

(2(-1)^2)

(2x1)

(-5) - (2) - (-1) +14

c. simplify.

(-5) - (2) + 1 + 14

-7 + 15

8

#2.

f(1/5)= (5(1/5)^3) - (2(1/5)^2 - (1/5) + 14

(5(1/5)^3)

(5 x 1/125)

(1/25) - (2(1/5)^2)

(2 x 1/25)

(2/25)

(1/25) - (2/25) - (1/5) +14

(-1/25) - (1/5) +14

Note: (1/5) turns into (5/25) so it can be subtracted.

-6/25 + 14

Note: 14 turns into 350/25 so it can be added.

350/25 - 6/25 = 344/25

#3.

f(14)= (5(14)^3) - (2(14)^2 - (14) + 14

Note: Normally you do the exponents first but I'm just going to casually take out the two 14s at the end cause they cancel each other out.

f(14)= (5(14)^3) - (2(14)^2)

( 5 (14^3))

(5 x  2744)

(13720) - (2(14^2))

(2 (14^2))

(2x196)

392

(13720) - 392

13328

Good Luck!

Samantha sells two types of wristbands, rope or beaded. She charges more for beaded wristbands than for rope
Tanya [424]

Answer:

y = number of wristbands of Type 2 at $8 each

Step-by-step explanation:

The  number of wristband of Type 1=x

The  number of wristband of Type 2=y

The total amount of money earned from selling these wristbands is given as:

Amount of Money collected=5x + 8y

Now Total cost for an item= Cost Per Item X Number of Item sold

Therefore:

8y = 8 X y =Cost Per Wristband of Type 2 X number of wristbands of Type 2

The variable y represents the number of wristbands of Type 2 which is sold for $8 each.
