Answer:

The boat traveling at 24 kph when John goes downstream.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

John has a boat that will travel at the rate of 15 kph in still water.

Let x be the speed of the current.

Speed of boat in upstream

(15-x)\text{ kph}

Speed of water in downstream

(15+x)\text{ kph}

Relation:

\text{Speed} = \dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

We have to find the speed of boat in downstream.

Time to travel upstream for 35 km = Time to travel  140 km downstream

\displaystyle\frac{35}{15-x}=\frac{140}{15+x}\\\\35(15+x) = 140(15-x)\\525 + 35x = 2100 - 140x\\175x = 1575\\x = 9

Thus, speed of current is 9 kph.

Speed of boat in downstream = 15 + 9 = 24 kph.

Thus, the boat traveling at 24 kph when John goes downstream.

Simplify the expression. 7 √x • 7 √x • 7 √x
blsea [12.9K]
Answer:

√7x−49√x

Explanation:

First of all, expand by multiplying √7x⋅√x and √7x⋅7√7respectively:

√7x(√x−7√7)=√7x⋅√x−√7x⋅7√7

... you can express √7x as √7⋅√x...

=√7⋅√x⋅√x−√7⋅√x⋅7⋅√7

=√7⋅(√x)2−(√7)2⋅√x⋅7

... the operations squaring and taking the square root "eliminate each other"...

=√7⋅x−7⋅√x⋅7

=√7x−49√x

Hope that this helped!
