Let b and s be the velocity of the boat and stream respectively....

3(b-s)=27

b-s=9

b=9+s we will use this in the second equation....

2(b+s)=30

b+s=15, now use b found above in this to get:

9+s+s=15

2s+9=15

2s=6

s=3, and since from earlier b-s=9, b=9+s so

b=12

So the speed of the boat is 12mph and the stream is 3 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the bridge be x

Since, triangles ADF and BCF are similar, ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

Therefore,

60 / 144 = 40 / x

X (length of the bridge) = <u>96 m</u>

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through point (-3, 8) is y = -2/3x + 6. What is the point-

Elena-2011 [213]

$y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}x+6\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so hmmm then we know the slope of that line is -2/3, so we're really looking for the point-slope form of a line with a slope of -2/3 and that passes through (-3 , 8)

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{8})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ -\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{8}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-3)})\implies y-8=-\cfrac{2}{3}(x+3)$
