The speed of the current is 40.34 mph approximately.
<u>SOLUTION: </u>
Given, a man can drive a motorboat 70 miles down the Colorado River in the same amount of time that he can drive 40 miles upstream.
We have to find the speed of the current if the speed of the boat is 11 mph in still water. Now, let the speed of river be a mph. Then, speed of boat in upstream will be a-11 mph and speed in downstream will be a+11 mph.
And, we know that,
We are given that, time taken for both are same. So
Answer:
a.)
b.)
c.) $
Step-by-step explanation:
a.) If she earns $7 'per' hour, this multiplication. After a week, we need to see how many hours she worked to earn $91, so this goes behind the equal sign. Let <em>h</em> be the unknown number of hours:
Solve for h. Divide both sides by 7:
Sylvia worked 13 hours at a rate of $7 an hour.
b.) She can work at most 15 hours a week. At 'most' can also mean less than or equal to. Let <em>h</em> be hours:
Sylvia can work less than or equal to 15 hours per week.
c.) If Sylvia can work 15 hours, plug in this value for <em>h</em> into an equation when she earns $7 per hour. Let the product of the hours and money equal <em>t</em> for total:
The most money Sylvia can earn in a week is $105.
<em>Finito.</em>
Answer: y = (-2/5)x - 7
This is the same as writing
======================================================
Explanation:
Any linear equation is of the form y = mx+b, known as slope-intercept form
m = slope
b = y intercept
We'll replace m with -2/5 and replace b with -7 to get y = (-2/5)x + (-7) which simplifies to y = (-2/5)x - 7
