Answer:

The time it takes Ms. Croft to reach the cruise ship by speedboat = 6.11 hours

The time it takes Ms. Croft to reach the cruise ship by helicopter = 6.25 hours

since it takes less time for Ms. Croft to reach the cruise ship by taking the speedboat, her best choice to retrieve the artifact is to take the speedboat.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The elapsed time by which Ms. Croft missed the boat = 5 hours

The speed of the cruise ship = 528 mi/day

The speed of the speedboat = 100 miles in 2.5 hours

The speed of the helicopter = 90 mph

The time it would take Ms. Croft to arrive at the harbor = 3.5 hours

Therefore, we have;

The cruise ship's speed = 528 miles per 24 hours = 528/24 mph = 22 mph

The location of the cruise after the first 5 hours = 5 × 22 = 110 miles

The speed of the speedboat = 100 miles per 2.5 hours = 100/2.5 = 40 mph

By traveling with a speed boat

The time at which Ms. Croft will intercept the cruise ship is given by the following relation;

40 mph × t = 22 mph × t + 110 miles

Which gives;

40 mph × t - 22 mph × t = 110 miles

18 mph = 110 miles

t = 110 miles/(18 mph) = 55/9 hours ≈ 6.11 hours

By taking the helicopter, we have;

Upon arrival at the harbor, after 3.5 hours, we find

90 mph × t = 22 mph × t + 22 mph × 3.5 hours + 110 miles

90 mph × t - 22 mph × t = 22 mph × 3.5 hours + 110 miles

68 mph × t = 77 miles + 110 miles = 187 miles

t = 187 miles/(68 mph) = 11/4 hours = 2.75 hours

The total time it takes Ms. Croft to reach the cruise ship by taking the helicopter = 3.5 + 2.75 = 6.25 hours

Therefore, since it takes less time for Ms. Croft to reach the cruise ship by taking the speedboat, her best choice to retrieve the artifact is to take the speedboat.

15x+12(10-x)=141<br>make sure to use steps to solve!​
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer: x=7

Step-by-step explanation: First you distribute the 12 to (10-x). That then gives you 15x+120-12x=141. Now you combine like terms. So you do 15x-12x=3x. Your new equation now is 3x+120=141. Subtract 120 from 141 and mark it out. That leaves you with 3x=21. Divide both sides by 3. Your final answer is x=7.
