If we take the equation and multiply out the left side, we get....

+ 2xk +

=

+ x +

The x^2 and k^2 cancel out on both sides leaving us with this...
2kx = x
If we divide both sides by 2x to isolate k,
k ends up = 1/2
Answer:
10 kph
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the speed of the current of the river.
20/(20 - c) + 180/(20 + c) = 8
20(20 + c) + 180(20 - c) = 8(400 - c^2)
8c^2 - 160c + 800 = 0
8(c^2 - 20c + 100) = 0
8(c - 10)^2 = 0
c = 10
The speed of the current of the river is 10 km/hour.

Answer:
The Car.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the unit rate for each vehicle to figure out who is traveling faster or slower.
Car: 600/20 = 30 ft per second
Motorcycle: 300/12 = 25 ft per second
So, the Car is faster
