Try this solution:

Answer: 6 & 4.5 (m-per-h)

Step-by-step explanation:

- The basic formula used in this task is S=V*t, where S - distance, V - speed, t - time.

- the downstream speed is: V+Vc, where V - the speed of the boat in still water, Vc - the speed of the current.

- the upstream speed is: V-Vc.

- according to the described above the distance for downstream is S1=(V+Vc)*t1, where t1=10; the distance for upstream is S2=(V-Vc)*t2, where t2=70.

- for whole travel down- and upstream: S=S1+S2.

- Using these it is possible to make up the system of the equations:

\left \{ {{(70(V-V_c)=10(V+V_c)} \atop {70(V-V_c)+10(V+V_c)=210}} \right.

V - the speed of the boat in still water - 6 miles per hour, Vc - the speed of the current - 4.5 miles per hour. All the details for the system of the equations are in the attachment.

Which algebraic expression represents “the difference of fifty-four and seven times a number”? 54 minus 7 n StartFraction 54 Ove
VMariaS [17]

Answer: 54-7n

Step-by-step explanation:

When we talk about mathematical language, the <u>difference </u>between two numbers, quantities or terms is the <u>substraction operation.</u>

For example, the <u>difference</u> between a and b is:

a-b

On the other hand, if we read a numer c <u>times</u> a number n, this means both numbers are multiplied.

For example:

c <u>times</u> n is:

(c)(n)

So, according to the explained above, “the difference of fifty-four and seven times a number n” is:

54-7n
