The length of a rectangle is 6 centimeters and its area is (6x + 18)square centimeters. Write an expression for the width.

1 answer:

5 0

Area=legnth times width
legnth=6
area=6x+18
subsitute
6x+18=6 times width

undistribute 6 from each term on left side
6(x+3)=6 times width
divide both sides by 6
x+3=width

A boat traveled 210 miles downstream and back. The trip downstream took 10 hours. The trip back took 70 hours. What is the speed

Try this solution:

Answer: 6 & 4.5 (m-per-h)

Step-by-step explanation:

- The basic formula used in this task is S=V*t, where S - distance, V - speed, t - time.

- the downstream speed is: V+Vc, where V - the speed of the boat in still water, Vc - the speed of the current.

- the upstream speed is: V-Vc.

- according to the described above the distance for downstream is S1=(V+Vc)*t1, where t1=10; the distance for upstream is S2=(V-Vc)*t2, where t2=70.

- for whole travel down- and upstream: S=S1+S2.

- Using these it is possible to make up the system of the equations:

$\left \{ {{(70(V-V_c)=10(V+V_c)} \atop {70(V-V_c)+10(V+V_c)=210}} \right.$

V - the speed of the boat in still water - 6 miles per hour, Vc - the speed of the current - 4.5 miles per hour. All the details for the system of the equations are in the attachment.
