Let x be the unknown speed, y the unknown distance.

distance equals speed times time.

"With" an 8kph current means our speed is x+8. 2 hours with an 8 kph current gets is a distance y:

y = 2(x + 8)

Against the current, speed x-8, took 3 hours to go y:

y = 3(x-8)

Equating,

2(x+8)=3(x-8)

2x + 16 =3x - 24

40 = x

Answer: 40 km/h

Check: 2(40+8)=96 km. 3(40-8)=3(32)=96 km. Equal, good.

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

100 +3s≥ 160

You must sell as least 20 items

Step-by-step explanation:

You make 100 plus 3 dollars per sale

100 +3s

It must be at least 160

100 +3s≥ 160

Now we need to solve to see how many sales

100 +3s≥ 160

Subtract 100 from each side

100-100 +3s≥ 160-100

3s≥ 60

Divide each side by 3

3s/3≥60/3

s≥20

You must sell as least 20 items

Please help!! Over several years, Stephon gathered data about his age and the time it took him to run two laps on the school tra
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Time taken by Stephen = 162 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Stephan gathered data which fits in the line of best fit,

y = -2.1x + 565.6

Where x represents the age (in months)

And y represents the time (in seconds) taken by Stephen to run two laps on the track.

Time taken to run 2 laps at the age of 192 months,

By substituting x = 192 months,

y = -2.1(192) + 565.6

  = -403.2 + 565.6

  = 162.4 seconds

  ≈ 162 seconds

Therefore, time taken by Stephen to cover 2 laps was 162 seconds when he was 192 months old.
