Answer:

Vp = 1 / 24  miles/min   the speed in still water

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call Vp speed of swimmer   and  Vw  speed of water then:

Downstream   Vp  +  Vw  

Swimmer does  2 miles in 40 minutes then he does

1  mile  in  20 minutes

Upstream     Vp - Vw

Swimmer does  2 miles in 60 minutes then he does

1 mile in 30 minutes

We get the following system:

(Vp  +  Vw )* 20  = 1    (1)         and

( Vp -  Vw )* 30   = 1    (2)

Solving the system

From equation (1)

20*Vp  +  20* Vw  =  1       ⇒     Vw  =  ( 1 - 20*Vp ) /20

Plugging that value in the second equation

(Vp  - Vw )* 30  = 1      ⇒  [ Vp - ( 1 - 20*Vp )/20 ] * 30  = 1

[20*Vp - 1 + 20*Vp ] * 30/20 = 1     ⇒ [ 40*Vp - 1 ] *30  =  20     or

 [ 40*Vp - 1 ] *3 = 2

120* Vp  - 3  = 2     ⇒   120*Vp  =  5   and   Vw  = 1 /120 miles/min

Vp  =  5 / 120 miles/min    or  

Vp = 1 / 24  miles/min

and speed of water   Vw  =  1 / 120

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

1. Let's write out the equation to subtract.

7t - 2u - 3v - (t - 3v)

Distribute the negative to the t and -3v.

7t - 2u - 3v - t + 3v         (The negatives cancel out)

Now simplify by combining like terms.

6t - 2u

This is the answer because the 3v and -3v cancel out.

2. I don't really understand what this is saying. Is there answer choices for this? But what I think its saying is that the lift has a constant of 2.

3. To find out the amount of terms, we would simplify the equation.

2x + 3y - 5x + yz - x

-4x  + 3y + yx

Here, we can see that we have 3 terms in this expression.

-4x is the first term, +3y is the second term, and +yx is the third term.

Calculate 6 P 6 note n p r equals n Over N - r​
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

n! Might be 7, and n might be 6. r might also be 6. So 6 - 6= 0! = 1

So I think it might be 7 ÷ 1, which is 7.

Multiple Representations:Question 1
alexdok [17]

Answer:

y = 27.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the value of x:

x = 12

and we need to find the value of y in the expression:

y = x + 15.1

as we can see by the equation, the value of y depends on the value of x.

thus, we substitute x = 12 on the previous equation:

y = 12 + 15.1

y = 27.1

the value of y is 27.1
