Answer:

The answer to your question is:

first piece        44/3

second piece   35/3

third piece    5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First we define the variable, it will be "x", and will be for the second piece.

Second piece = x

First piece = x + 3       (from the problem)

Third piece = x - 10     (from the problem)

We sum all

                    x + 3 + x + x -10 = 28

                  3x - 7 = 28           simplify like terms

                   3x = 28 + 7

                   3x = 35

Second piece                      x =  35/3

First piece  = x + 3 = 35/3 +3 = (35 + 9)/3 = 44/3

Third piece = 35/3 - 10 = (35-10)/3 = 5/3

A boat takes 3.6 h to travel downstream from its dock to a fishing hole. If the water were still, it would have taken 4.5 h to m
salantis [7]
Given:

t1 = 3.6 h
t2 = 4.5 h
x = speed of boat
y = speed of water

Required:
a) Expression of distance traveled with moving water with 3.6h
     Expression of distance traveled with moving water with 4.5h
b) Solve for y
c) Percent of boat's speed is the water current

Solution:

Working formula: 
distance = velocity*time

a) For travelling downstream, we get the equation

d = (x +y)*3.6

For travelling upstream, we get the equation

d = (x-y)*4.5

b) Setting the distance as equal for travelling upstream or downstream, we arrive at the equation of

(x+y)*3.6 = (x-y)*4.5
3.6x + 3.6y = 4.5x - 4.5y
8.1y =0.9x
y = x/9

c) percentage = 1/9*100% = 11.1%

<em>ANSWERS: a) d = (x+y)*36; d = (x-y)*4.5
</em>
                     <em>b) y = x/9
</em>                     <em>c) 11.1%</em>
