Answer:
100/x+6=20/x-6
100x-600=20x+120
80x=720
x=9 miles an hour as the rowing teams' rate in still water
Answer:
It is important because they are the basics of algebra. Almost every algebraic problem you will ever solve is based on these fundamental properties. In equations, we almost never know every part of it so we will need variables to substitute the unknown amount in an equation. Variables are used for basically every equation/problem in algebra. Inequalities are not as important as variables but are still really important. Inequalities are basically comparing numbers. And in algebra when they add variables into an inequality, the inequality will help lower the number of possible values of said variable. And exponents are just a basic operation in algebra. Just like learning addition and subtraction. It is like a quicker and less complicated way of multiplying numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
well, it is kind of written already :
228 miles and 6 gallons.
so, miles/gallon = 228/6 = 38 miles/gallon.
b)
it is not mentioned, but I guess we have to assume that he got the same miles/gallon ratio on this trip as well.
so, again
38 miles/gallon
and he used 9 gallons.
so, he drove 38×9 = 342 miles
