Answer:
100/x+6=20/x-6
100x-600=20x+120
80x=720
x=9 miles an hour as the rowing teams' rate in still water

Type Your Question Go!!! Answer by jim_thompson5910(34119) About Me (Show Source):You can put this solution on YOUR website!I'm assuming that the triangle is a right triangle and that side 3 is the hypotenuse.
We basically have this triangle set up:
Since we can see that the triangle has legs of 8 and x with a hypotenuse of 12, we can use Pythagoreans theorem to find the unknown side.
Pythagoreans theorem:
a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2 where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse
8%5E2%2Bx%5E2=12%5E2 Plug in a=8, b=x, and c=12. Now lets solve for x
6+4+%2B++x++%5E+2+=+1+4+4 Square each individual term
+x++%5E+2+=+1+4+4+-+6+4 Subtract 64 from both sides
+x++%5E+2+=+8+0 Combine like terms
s+q+r+t+%28++x++%5E+2+%29+=+s+q+r+t+%28+8+0+%29 Take the square root of both sides
x=4%2Asqrt%285%29 Simplify the square root
Which approximates to... x+=+8+.+9+4+4+2+7+1+9+0+9+9+9+9+1+6
So our answer is x+=+8+.+9+4+4+2+7+1+9+0+9+9+9+9+1+6....
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are using the formula I=PRT and calculating simple interest.
<em>I</em> is the interest, <em>P</em> is the principal or starting amount, <em>R </em> is the interest rate as a decimal, and <em>T</em> is the time in years.
We know that there is $1555.00 at 8% for 2 years. First, convert the interest rate to a decimal. Divide the rate by 100 or move the decimal place 2 spots to the left.
- 8/100 = 0.08
- 8. --> 0.8 --> 0.08
Now we know all the values:
Substitute the values into the formula.
Multiply.
The account earned $248.80 in interest, but the question asks for the total amount in the account. We must add the interest to the starting amount.
After 2 years, the savings account had <u>$1803.80</u>
