7 0

Answer:

7 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If b is the rate of the boat, and s is the rate of the stream, then:

b − s = 4

b + s = 10

Solve the system of equations with substitution or elimination. Using elimination, add the equations together:

2b = 14

b = 7

The boat's rate is 7 mph.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\\\(-5,1)\quad\implies\quad x_1=-5\,,\ \ y_1=1\\\\(-1,4)\quad\implies\quad x_2=-1\,,\ \ y_2=4\\\\d=\sqrt{(-1+5)^2+(4-1)^2}= \sqrt{4^2+3^2}=\sqrt{16+9}=\sqrt{25}=5$
