Rearrange the equation so nnn is the independent variable.<br> m+1=-2(n+6)m+1=−2(n+6)
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

m=-2n-13

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is m+1=-2(n+6)

We want to rearrange this equation so that, n becomes the  independent variable.

This means we must solve form, m which becomes the dependent variable.

We expand the parenthesis to get:

m+1=-2n-12

We now subtract 1 from both sides to obtain:

m=-2n-12-1

We simplify to obtain:

m=-2n-13

This can be rewritten as

m(n)=-2n-13

impeded by the current the outing club took 4 hours and 24 minutes to paddle 11 km up the exeter river to their campsite last we
lilavasa [31]

Answer: if there had been no current, the rate would have been 4 km/hr.

The rate of the current is 1.5km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Let y represent the speed of the current.

Impeded by the current the outing club took 4 hours and 24 minutes(4 + 24/60 = 4.4 hours) to paddle 11 km up the exeter river to their campsite last weekend. This means that the total speed with which they travelled is (x - y) km/h

Distance = speed × time. Therefore

11 = 4.4(x - y)

Dividing through by 4.4, it becomes

2.5 = x - y - - - - - - - - - - -1

The next day the same current was with them and it took only 2 hours to make the return trip to campus. This means that the total speed with which they travelled is (x + y) km/h. The distance travelled is

11 = 2(x + y)

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

5.5 = x + y - - - - - - - - - - -2

Adding equation 1 to equation 2, it becomes

8 = 2x

x = 8/2 = 4

Substituting x = 4 into equation 1, it becomes

2.5 = 4 - y

y = 4 - 2.5

y = 1.5
