Answer:
7i..........................
X * y = -48
x + y = 8
y = -48/x
x -48/x = 8
x^2 - 48 = 8x
x^2 - 8x -48 = 0
x = 12
y = -4
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 equals 550 lgjf8654
Answer:
The boat traveling at 24 kph when John goes downstream.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
John has a boat that will travel at the rate of 15 kph in still water.
Let x be the speed of the current.
Speed of boat in upstream

Speed of water in downstream

Relation:

We have to find the speed of boat in downstream.
Time to travel upstream for 35 km = Time to travel 140 km downstream

Thus, speed of current is 9 kph.
Speed of boat in downstream = 15 + 9 = 24 kph.
Thus, the boat traveling at 24 kph when John goes downstream.
Answer: 320 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the mas of the teapot be denoted by a
Let the mass of the cups be denoted by c
The question can be turned into an equation which will be:
a + 4c = 1280 ......... equation i
a + 10c = 2720 ........ equation ii
Subtract equation i from ii
6c = 1440
c = 1440/6
c = 240 grams
The mas of the cup is 240 grams
From equation i
a + 4c = 1280
a + 4(240) = 1280
a + 960 = 1280
a = 1280 - 960
a = 320 grams
The mass of the teapot is 320 grams
