A trimaran boat, with a top speed of 55 knots, won the tournament cup in 2010. Its top speed is 6 knots more than 3.5 times the
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

14 knots

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the speed (55 knots) is 6 more than 3.5 times the winner of the monohull in the 2007 tournament.

So let's set the variable for the speed of the monohull to <em>m</em>. Now, let's set up an equation:

55 = 6 + (3.5 * m)

We can solve this by first subtracting 6 from both sides to get:

49 = 3.5 * m

Dividing both sides by 3.5 we get:

14 = m

That means that the top speed of the monohull in the 2007 tournament was 14 knots
