This is false... you can get an easy example: (-2) + (10) = 10 - 2 = 8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let he speed of the boat on the lake is x.
<u>Considering the speed of the current it will take him:</u>
- 22.5/(x + 6) + 22.5/(x - 6) = 9
- 2.5 / (x + 6) + 2.5 / (x - 6) = 1
- 2.5(x - 6 + x + 6) = (x + 6)(x - 6)
- 2.5*2x = x² - 36
- x² - 5x - 36 = 0
- x = (5 ± √(5² + 4*36))/2 = (5 ± 13) / 2
- x = (5 + 13)/2 = 9 mph (negative root is discarded as the speed should be positive)
-- Subtract K from each side of the equation.
8/5 = 0
-- There is no value for K that can make this a true statement. So the original equation has no solution.
Triangular
I think that it
Word problems describe a situation where something mathematical can be found out about a system. Often, it's a real-world measurement (like numbers of apples, ages of people, inches, feet, etc.) and usually have more than one object being discussed.
The answer must be expressed in specific units so the value cannot be confused with other measurements discussed in the problem.
