<span>Traveled Downstream a distance of 33 Mi and then came right back. If the speed of the current was 12 mph and the total trip took 3 hours and 40 minutes.
Let S = boat speed in still water then                                                                         (s + 12) = downstream speed                                                                                  (s -12) =  upstream speed 
     Given Time = 3 hours 40 minutes = 220 minutes   = (220/60) h = (11/3) h                      Time = Distance/Speed
                  33/(s +12) + 33/(s-12) = 11/3                                                                               3{33(s-12) + 33(s +12)} = 11(s+12) (s -12)                                                          99(s -12 + s + 12) = 11(</span> s^{2} + 12 s -12 s -144)                                                   99(2 s) = 11(s^{2} -144)                                                                                        198 s/11 = (s^{2} -144)                                                                                         18 s = (s^{2} -144)                                                                                            (s^{2} - 18 s - 144) = 0                                                                                         s^{2} - 24 s + 6 s -144 =0                                                                                       s(s- 24) + 6(s -24) =0                                                                                            (s -24) (s + 6) = 0                                                                                                  s -24 = 0, s + 6 =0                                                                                                s = 24, s = -6                                                                     Answer) s = 24 mph is the average speed of the boat relative to the water.

Which equation represents the same line as the points in the table
vodomira [7]

Answer:

y=\frac{-3}{4} x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can find the slope using the slope equation and two of the points.

Slope equation:

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

I'm going to use the first two points just so I can avoid the fraction... Substitute the x and y values into the equation.

m=\frac{2-5}{0--4}

Simplify:

m=\frac{-3}{4}

Now that we have the slope, all we need is the y-intercept. Luckily, it gives it to us in the table. The x value of y-intercepts will always be 0. Looking at the table, we see that the point where x=0 is (0,2). Thus, the y-intercept is 2. Your final equation is

y=\frac{-3}{4} x+2

9 (2x-5) =

Remember to look at words that indicate an operation is to take place (Eg: "times" (x) "less than" (-) "Twice x" (2x))

Hope this helps!
