2x + 8 = 10
2x + 8 -8=10-8
2x = 2
2x/2 = 2/2
x = 1 ( 2 x 1 + 8 =10)

An animal reserve has 40,000 elk. The population increases 11% a year. How long tell the population is equal to 80,000. If someo

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

7 years (This answer is to the nearest year)

Step-by-step explanation:

The way you could work this out is by trial and error. 11 % a year means that its population increases by 4400 annually. 40,000 X 1.11^1 gives you the amount it would be after one year (44000). I got the 1.11 because of the percentage (0.11) plus the amount you need to do percentage increase (1). Then all you do is keep on going up till you hit the number you need (80,000) after about 7 years the total would have hit 80,000 and would have actually went past it (83046)

A motorboat travels 165 kilometers in 3 hours going upstream and 510 kilometers in 6 hours going downstream. What is the rate of

nikitadnepr [17]

<h3>Rate of the boat in still water is 70 km/hr and rate of the current is 15 km/hr</h3><h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that,

A motorboat travels 165 kilometers in 3 hours going upstream and 510 kilometers in 6 hours going downstream

Therefore,

Upstream distance = 165 km

Upstream time = 3 hours

<h3><u>Find upstream speed:</u></h3>

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}\\\\speed = \frac{165}{3}\\\\speed = 55$

Thus upstream speed is 55 km per hour

Downstream distance = 510 km

Downstream time = 6 hours

<h3><u>Find downstream speed:</u></h3>

$speed = \frac{510}{6}\\\\speed = 85$

Thus downstream speed is 85 km per hour

<em><u>If the speed of a boat in still water is u km/hr and the speed of the stream is v km/hr, then</u></em>

Speed downstream = u + v km/hr

Speed upstream = u - v km/hr

Therefore,

u + v = 85 ----- eqn 1

u - v = 55 ----- eqn 2

Solve both

Add them

u + v + u - v = 85 + 55

2u = 140

u = 70

<em><u>Substitute u = 70 in eqn 1</u></em>

70 + v = 85

v = 85 - 70

v = 15

Thus rate of the boat in still water is 70 km/hr and rate of the current is 15 km/hr
