P = paddling speed

C = speed of the current

Upstream: 6 = 4 (P - C. Downstream: 6 = 3 (P + C)

4P - 4C = 6

3P + 3C = 6

12P - 12C = 18

12P + 12C = 24

Add the equations:

24P = 42. P = 42/24 = 1.75 mph

Subtract the equations:

-24C = -6

C = 0.25 mph

<span>y=2(1)+5,,, y=2+5 then y=7 (1,7).....y=2(2)+5,,,y=4+5 then y=9 (2,9) .....y=2(3)+5,,, y=6+5 then y=11 (3,11)........ y=2(4)+5,,,,y=8+5 then y=13 (4,13) when solving for the y you just have to substitute the values of the x given one by one ..... for the ordered pairs -.... ex. in first equation the given value of x is 1..... so we know that is the value of x and by substituting you can find the value of y which turned to be 7 ,,, to write it (1,7) 1 is the x and 7 is the y ((x,y)

Is 10x-7 equivalent to (7x-5)-(3x-2)​
ValentinkaMS [17]

no, because (7x-5) - (3x-2) = 4x-3

This would, however, be true if the equation was (7x-5) + (3x-2), but since the equation is subtracting instead of adding the equation isn't equivalent to 10x-7.

For friends are sharing a meal. They each agreed to pay 25% of the total cost. The meal costs $115. How much does each friend pa
Juli2301 [7.4K]

There are two ways to do this:

Way 1- Since you know there are 4 people and each will pay 25%, you know that every person will pay equally / the same amount so you can just do 115/4 and get $28.75 per person

Way 2- You can convert 25% into a decimal by multiplying it by 100 and getting 0.25 and multiplying 0.25 x 115 to get 25% of 115, which is what everyone will pay and you get B $28.75
