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.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

f(-2)=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

x -----> is the independent variable or input value

f(x) ---> is the dependent variable or output value

f(-2) is the value of the function f(x) when the value of x is equal to -2

For x=-2

Looking at the graph

f(-2)=-2

For an input value of -2 the output value is -2
