Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The time for each canoe is 3.5 hours

The total distance traveled by the first canoe is not known. Nor is the distance for the second canoe. We do know that the difference is 5.25 miles.

So let the rate of the slower canoe = x

Let the rate for the second canoe = 2x

The first canoe goes a distance of 2*x * 3.5 = 7x

The second canoe goes a distance of 3.5x

The difference = 7x - 3.5x = 5.25

3.5x = 5.25                                       divide by 3.5

x = 5.25/3.5

x = 1.5 which is the rate of the slower canoe

2x = 3  which is the rate of the faster canoe

Alarger number is 2 more than 4 times a smaller number. The larger number is also 8 more than 2 times the smaller number. 4x+2 y
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

the value of the smallest number is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the value of the smaller number is shown below:

Given that

y = 4x + 2

y = 2x + 8

Now equate these two equations

4x + 2 = 2x + 8

4x - 2x = 8 - 2

2x = 6

x = 3

Hence, the value of the smallest number is 3

The same is to be considered

A border of uniform width is placed around a rectangular photograph that measures 8 inches by 10 inches. If the area of the bord
amid [387]

Answer:

width of the border is 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

size = 8 inches by 10 inches

area = 144 square inches

to find out

width of the border

solution

first we consider width of border is x

area of new full rectangle =  (8 + 2x ) × ( 10 + 2x )

so we know  area of photo = 8 × 10 = 80 square inches

and area of border = 144 square inches that is given

so new area of photo with the border is 80 + 144 = 224 square inches

and we can say that

area of full rectangle  - area of the photograph = Area of Border

(8 + 2x) × (10 + 2x) – (80) = 144  square inches

80 + 16x + 20x + 4x^{2} – 80 = 144

4x^{2} + 36x – 144 = 0

solve thios equation we get  

2x^{2} + 9x – 36 = 0

solve thios equation we get  

(x + 12) (x – 3) = 0  

so here x have two value one is negative and other is positive

so we consider only positive value

x = -12 or x = 3

width of the border is 3 inches
