3x is the miles from downstream
4 (x - 1) is the return trip 

Solution:
3x = 4 (x - 1)
3x =4x - 4
-x = -4 
x = 4 

The outward journey 3x = 12 miles 
Return journey is same length 
Therefore the distance travel is 24 miles

Answer:

The answer is 24 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that distance = rate * time

Length of the journey = 3x from downstream

Length of the journey = 4(x-1) from return trip

As the distance is same, we will equate both the journey lengths.

3x= 4(x-1)

Solving for x;

3x=4x-4

-x=-4

x = 4

Thus the forward journey, 3x=3(4) = 12 miles.

Return journey will be of same length that is 12 miles.

The total distance traveled is 12+12=24 miles.

Therefore, the answer is 24 miles.

Some friends of yours collected books for a book drive. They collected 64 Fiction, and 48 Non-Fiction books. They asked you to m
Cloud [144]

As all of the bundles have the same content inside, so assuming that there is x number of Fiction books and y number of Non-fiction books in each bundle.

Let n be the total number of bundles that my team can send.

There are 64 Fiction books, so

nx=64 ...(i)

Or x=64/n ...(ii)

also, there are 48 Non-Fiction books, so

ny=48 ...(iii)

Or y=48/n ...(iv)

Observing that the numbers x, y, and n are counting numbers and from equations (i) and (iii), n is the common factor of 64 and 48.

The possible common factors of 64 and 48 are,

n=1,2,4,8, and 16.

So, my team can send 1,2,3,4,8 or 16 bundles of books.

Now, from equations (ii) and (iv),

For n=1:

x=64/1=64

y=48/1=48

So, for 1 bundle the number of Fiction and Non-fictions books are 64 and 48 respectively.

For n=2:

x=64/2=32

y=48/2=48

So, for 2 bundles, the number of Fiction and Non-fictions books are 32 and 24 respectively.

For n=4:

x=64/4=16

y=48/4=12

So, for 4 bundles, the number of Fiction and Non-fictions books are 16 and 12 respectively.

For n=8:

x=64/8=8

y=48/8=6

So, for 8 bundles, the number of Fiction and Non-fictions books are 8 and 6 respectively.

For n=16:

x=64/16=4

y=48/16=3

So, for 16 bundles, the number of Fiction and Non-fictions books are 4 and 3 respectively.
