Answer:
Boat = 20 mph
Current = 5 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
If b is the speed of the boat, and c is the speed of the current, then:
b + c = 225 / 9 = 25
b − c = 225 / 15 = 15
Solve the system of equations with elimination.
2b = 40
b = 20
Plug back into either equation to find the speed of the current.
c = 5
There really isn't any distributing done, as the perimeter is the total length of the shape, and since this is a rectangle it has two two equal sides, 7+7=14 and 13+13=26, 14+26=40 inches
Give them the same denominator.
19/30 is what you have left
Answer:
a = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
19 = -3a - 5
Add 5 to both sides.
24 = -3a
Divide both sides by -3.
-8 = a
Switch sides.
a = -8
Answer:
$17.35/h
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to get the amount per hour he made, you first need to calculate the global amount of money he made.
He was paid $2,900 then he had costs of $1,200, that leaves him a net income of $1,700 ($2,900 - $1,200)
Then he worked a total of 98 hours for that money.
A salary is an amount of money expressed by a period of time. In this case, we'll use hours.
So, Jonah earned $1,700 after 98 hours of work:
S = $1,700 / 98 hours = $17.35/h
