3x-13=305
3x=305+13
3x=318
(3x)÷3=318÷3
x=106
check.. (3×106)-13=305
318-13=305
305=305
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find two things-- the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current. Each of these things will be represented by a different variable:
B = speed of the boat in still water
C = speed of the current
Since we have two variables, we will need to find a system of two equations to solve.
How do we find the two equations we need?
Rate problems are based on the relationship Distance = (Rate)(Time).
Fill in the chart with your data (chart attached)
The resulting speed of the boat (traveling upstream) is B-C miles per hour. On the other hand, if the boat is traveling downstream, the current will be pushing the boat faster, and the boat's speed will increase by C miles per hour. The resulting speed of the boat (traveling downstream) is B+C miles per hour. Put this info in the second column in the chart. Now plug it into a formula! <u>Distance=(Rate)(Time) </u>Now solve using the systems of equations!
Answer:
Slope =-1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+n
Slope=m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
A(-1,19).... x1 =-1, y1=19
B(11,16)..... x2=11, y2=16
Slope=(16-19)/(11-(-1))=(-3)/(11+1)=-3/12=-1/4
1562 divided by 35= 45 with a remainder of 32
