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:

C) -7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(9-(-5))/(-2-4)=(9+5)/-6=14/-6

How would I set up this problem?
Sliva [168]
Since in 1990 there are 28%, we need to figure out when it gets to 31%. In addition, since it increases by 0.6% every year, we can say that 0.6x+28 (since 28 is the base value) is the percentage of babies born in wedlock every year. Therefore, to get 0.6x+28=31, we subtract 28 from both sides to get 0.6x=3
Dividing both sides by 0.6, we get x=5=the amount of years it takes to get 31% of babies born in wedlock. Since 1990 is the base value (we start from there!), we add 5 to that to get 1990+5=1995 as the yar

Kamila [148]

Answer:

z=9.7

Step-by-step explanation:

3z + 8 - 2 = -35

Subtract 6 from both sides

3z=29

divide 3 from both sides

z=9.7
