Answer:    The rate of boat is 60 kmh.

                  The rate of current is 5 kmh.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Suppose the rate of boat in still water is : b kmh

Suppose the rate of current is  : c kmh

When the boat is going upstream, the relative speed will be : (b-c)

When the boat is going downstream, the relative speed will be: (b+c)

Boat travels 220 kilometers in 4 hours going upstream.

speed=\frac{distance}{time}

(b-c)=\frac{220}{4}   .................. equation (1)

It travels 260 kilometers going downstream in the same amount of time.

(b+c)=\frac{260}{4}  ................... equation (2)

Adding equation 1 and 2

b-c+b+c=\frac{220}{4}+\frac{260}{4}

2b=\frac{480}{4}

2b=120

b=60

Plugging the value of b as 60 in equation 2

60+c=\frac{260}{4}

60+c=65

c=5

Hence the rate of boat is 60 kmh.

Hence the rate of current is 5 kmh.

Hope it will help :)

Find the value of X<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2x%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B74%7D%7B2%7D%20%20%20-%2037" id="TexFormula1" t

The value of  x from the expression is 2

<h3>Expression and equation </h3>

Given the expression

2x = 74/2 - 37


We are to calculate the value of  x from the expression

2x = 37 - 37

Since 37 - 37 = 0

2x = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

2x/2 = 0/2

x = 0

Hence the value of  x from the expression is 2

The best way to solve this problem is by plugging in each answer choice for both equations and seeing which one works. You can already see that choice A doesn't work because -1 is not greater than or equal to 4. That means you just need to test choices B and C!

Choice B (4, -2)
x + y  \geq 6\\&#10;4 + -2  \geq 6\\&#10;2  \geq  6 &#10;
2 is not greater than or equal to 6, so choice B doesn't work.

Choice C (4, 2)
x + y \geq 6\\ &#10;4 + 2 \geq 6\\ &#10;6 \geq 6 \\\\&#10;x  \geq 4\\&#10;4 \geq 4
Since 6 is equal to 6 and 4 is equal to 4, choice C works!
