Answer:

time upstream=24/8=3 hours

time downstream=24/12=2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If R*T=D, and R is speed + or - current, how can you find the rate without the time, and how can you find the time without the rate?

THE KEY WAS WHEN WE WERE TOLD THAT IT TAKES ONE HOUR LONGER TO GO UPSTREAM THAN DOWNSTREAM BECAUSE T=D/R AND WE ARE TOLD THAT:

D/R(Upstream) minus 1 equals D/R (DOWNSTREAM)



Let x=rate of current

distance(d)=rate(r) times time(t) or d=rt or t=d/r

distance upstream=distance downstream=24 mi

rate upstream=10-x

rate downstream=10+x

time upstream=(distance upstream)/(rate upstream)=24/(10-x)

time downstream=(distance downstream)/(rate downstream)=24/(10+x)

Now, we are told that time upstream minus one hour equals time downstream. So our equation to solve is:

24/(10-x)-1=24/(10+x) Multiply both sides by (10-x)(10+x)

24(10+x)(10-x)/(10-x)-1(10-x)(10+x)=24(10-x)/(10+x)/(10+x) clear fractions


24(10+x)-(10-x)(10+x)=24(10-x) clear parens

240+24x-100-10x+10x+x^2=240-24x subtract 240 from and add 24x to both sides

240-240+24x+24x-100+x^2=240-240-24x+24x collect like terms

x^2+48x-100=0 ----------------quadratic equation in standard form

This equation can be factored:

(x+50)(x-2)=0

x=-50 mph----------------discount the negative value for speed

and

x=2 mph----------------------speed of the current

CK

10-x=10-2= 8 mph -----------------------speed upstream

10+x=10+2=12 mph--------------------------speed downstream

time upstream=24/8=3 hours

time downstream=24/12=2 hours

so 3-2=1----takes 1 hour longer upstream

Please help me find 'x' your help would be much appreciated <br><br><br> -Thanks
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

x=25.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know because of corresponding angles, the sum of the angle adjacent to (2x-5) and (2x-5) is 180 degrees

2x-5+5x+10=180

7x+5=180

7x=175

x=25

The volume of a storage tank is 1695.6 m3. The radius is 6m. How tall is the storage<br> tank?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

the storage tank is a cylinder.

The formule to calculate the volume is:

v =\pi{r}^{2}  \times h

h = v \div \pi {r}^{2}

h = 1695.6 \div 36 \times \pi = 14.992

The Caesar Cipher of the sentence "THIS MESSAGE IS TOP SECRET."
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:  Option 'a' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

"THIS MESSAGE IS TOP SECRET."

We need to use the Caesar cipher.

As in general we always take a shift of 3 keys in Caesar cipher.

so, According to shift of 3 keys it becomes,

T→W

H→K

I→L

S→V

M→P

E→H

A→D

G→J

O→R

C→F

R→U

P→S

So, it can be written as

"THIS MESSAGE IS TOP SECRET."

WKLVP HVVDJ HLVWR SVHFU  HW.

we make a set of 5 letters in a word after Caesar cypher.

Hence, Option 'a' is correct.
