Let 'x' be the distance from THE far bank where 700 is the distance to the NEAR bank
boat one has travelled 700 (rate = 700/unit time) boat two has travelled x rate = x / unit time
boat one then travels x + 400 more and boat two travels 700 + (700+x -400) more when they meet
The time is the same rate x time = distance distance/rate = time equate the distances divided by the respective rates
(700 + x + 400)/700 = ( x + 700 + (700+x-400) )/x
1100x + x^2 = 1400x + 700000
x^2-300x -700000 = 0 quadratic formula yields x = 1000
One boat travels 700 the other 1000 whe they first meet.....width of river = 700+ 1000 = 1700 m
Answer:
16) 
17) y = -x - 4
18) y = -2x - 1
19) y = -2x
20)
Step-by-step explanation:
With the two points you find the slope using 
Then using that slope, plug the slope in with one of the points values of x and y into the point slope formula, and smiplify that into the y-intercept formula.
Answer: x = 34
Step-by-step explanation: ok so when you put 2 triangles together and make a rectangle the length and width will still be the same! so the answer is 34ft
Since it is parallel, gradient must be the same so it will be 1/2
y=1/2x+c
-7=1/2(0)+c
c=-7
equation is y=1/2x-7
