Answer: m=8
Step-by-step explanation:
5m-8=3m+8
Move the variable to the left hand side and change its sign; move the constant to the right hand sign and change it's sign
5m-3m=8+8
Collect like terms
2m=16
Divide both sides by 2
2m/2=16/2
m=8

Answer:
rate boat = 15 mph
rate current = 5 mph
explanation:
d = r * t
t = d/r
240 / (r_boat + current) = 12 Multiply both sides by r_boat + r_current.
240 = 12(r_boat + current)
240/ (r_boat - current) = 24 Multiply both sides by r_boat - r_current
240 = 24*(r_boat - current)
Since the distances are the same in both equations, you can equate the right side of each.
12 (r_boat + current) = 24(r_boat - current) Divide by 12
r_boat + current = 2 (r_boat - current) Remove the brackets.
r_boat + current = 2*r_boat - 2* current add 2 currents to both sides
r_boat + 3currents = 2*r_boat Subtract r_boat both sides
3 currents = r_boat.
240 = 12*(r_boat + current. Divide by 12
20 = r_boat + current Put 3 currents in for r_boat
20 = 3currents + 1 current Combine
20 = 4 currents Divide by 4
5 = current
The rate of the current = 5 miles / hour
3 currents = r_boat
3*5 = rate_boat
15 = rate of the boat
Answer:
¾
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of Kerry string = 7(½) = 15/2
Length of John string = 6(¾) = 27/4
15/2 - 27/4
30 - 27/4
3/4
