Suppose x is the rate at which the boat travels at still water.
let y be rate in moving water
up stream is x-y 
down stream is x+y
the 1/3(x-y)=5
1/5(x+y)=5
solve the system
x-y=15
x+y=25
add the equation to cancel y
we get 2x=40
x=20 
therefore the boat is moving at rate of 20 miles for hour in still water

Write a equation that is parallel to 5x-y=4
ozzi
Let's have this equation equal y first. All we have to do is add y to both sides and subtract 4 from both sides.
5x-4=y
Now, to get a parallel line, the y intercept has to change. The y intercept (the -4 in the equation) can be an infinite amount of number but -4.
Let's choose 6. We would have 5x+6=y or you could put it in the way the other equation was, 5x-y=-6.

Solve for x using the given information. Explain your steps.
baherus [9]

6x + ( 3x - 9) = 90°( being complementary angles )

6x+3x -9 = 90°

9x = 90° + 9

x = 99 / 9

x = 11

Helium decays to form lithium. 6 2 he → 6 3 li 0 -1 e this type of nuclear decay is called .
PSYCHO15rus [73]

To understand this question, we need some knowledge on radioactive decay. This type of nuclear decay is called a beta decay

<h3>Beta Decay</h3>

This is the process where a radioactive material is fired or naturally emits a beta particle which is equivalent to the lose of an electron and spontaneously becomes an entirely different element.

^6_2He \to ^6_3 Li + ^0_-_1e

The participating actors in this nuclear reaction are

  • helium
  • lithium
  • electron

This is the decay process of helium particle in which it became a lithium particle and emitted an electron in the process.

William wants to invest $30,000 in a mutual fund.
Natali [406]

Answer:

He will have $39,750 at the end of five years.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

T = E + P

In this question:

P = 30000, I = 0.065, t = 5

Interest earned:

E = P*I*t = 30000*0.065*5 = 9750

Total amount:

T = E + P = 9750 + 30000 = 39750

He will have $39,750 at the end of five years.
