Answer: the length of the rectangle is 12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the rectangle is x inches
Hence, the width is (x/2)+4 inches
Thus,

Divide both parts of the equation by 3:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You could multiply all of equation A by 1/6 and all of equation b by -1/4 to get
A. x-3/2y=-1/3 and B. x+1/4y=/5/4, then subtract the equations from each other to solve
Answer:
Teachers to Students: 1:9, 1 to 19, 1/19
Students to teachers: 19:1, 19 to 1, 19/1
(If this is wrong the answers might be different for you but this is what I got an I was right)
Let the speed of the current equal c
and the speed of the boat in still water equal b.
b + c = 1.5 (b - c)
b + c = 1.5b - 1.5c
0.5b = 2.5c
b = 5c
The speed of the current is 1.5 mph so
b = 5 * 1.5 = 7.5 mph
