It would be perpendicular lines
Answer:
Let the current speed be "c";
Then the boat speed in still wate is "5c":
-----------------------
Upstream speed:
distance = 12 miles ; rate = 5c-c = 4c mph ; time = 12/4c = 3/c hrs
---------------------------
Downstream speed:
distance = 12 miles ; rate = 5c+c = 6c mph ; time = 12/6c = 2/c hrs
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation:
time + time = 2 1/2 hrs
3/c + 2/c = 5/2
Multiply thru by 2c to get:
6 + 4 = 5c
c = 2 mph (speed of the current)
5c = 10 mph (speed of the boat in still water)
1,725 is you answer because you growth rate is 172.5 a year x ten is 1725
<span>5x - y = 15 (1)
-10x+2y=-30 (2)
multiply (1) by 2
10x - 2y = 30
</span>-10x + 2y = -30 (2)
