Answer:

The speed of the boat is 5 miles per hours

The speed of the current is 2 miles per hours .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover by boat downstream = D = 10.5 miles

The time taken by boat to cover D distance = T = 1.5 hours

The distance cover by boat Upstream = d = 10.5 miles

The time taken by boat to cover d distance = t = 3.5 hours

Let The speed of boat =  x mph

Let The speed of current =  mph

Now, According to question

∵ Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}

<u>For Downstream</u>

x + y = \dfrac{D}{T}

Or, x + y =  \dfrac{10.5}{1.5}

Or, x + y = 7          .......A

<u>For Upstream</u>

x - y = \dfrac{d}{t}

Or, x - y =  \dfrac{10.5}{3.5}

Or, x - y = 3          .......B

Now, Solving eq A and eq B

So, (x + y) + (x - y) = 7 + 3

Or, (x + x) + (y - y) = 10

Or, 2 x + 0 = 10

∴  x = \dfrac{10}{2}

i.e x = 5 mph

So, The speed of the boat = x = 5 miles per hours

Put the value of x into eq A

∵ x + y = 7

Or, 5 + y = 7

∴ y = 7 - 5

i.e y = 2 mph

So, The speed of the current = y = 2 miles per hours

Hence, The speed of the boat is 5 miles per hours and The speed of the current is 2 miles per hours . Answer

Answer:

a = 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of a.

We know that, a straight line makes an angle of 180°.

In this case,

a+3a+2a = 180

6a = 180

a = 30°

So, the value of a is equal to 30°.

Answer:

1. 4y-12

2. c

For #1 you distribute the 4 to the y and the 3. 4 times 3 equals 12.

For #2 you factor out the 3 and you get 3(5x+1)

Whts X+y x 9 +3 +4 ?
babunello [35]

Expression simplified: x+9y+7

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that we have in this problem is:

x+y\cdot 9 +3 +4

The first type of operation that we have to solve in such expression are multiplication/division.

In this expression, there is only one multiplication, that is:

y\cdot 9 = 9y

So we can rewrite the expression as

x+9y+3+4

Now we can evaluate the sum of the similar terms: in this case, similar terms are only 3 and 4, and their sum is

3+4=7

Therefore, the expression can be rewritten as

x+9y+7
