Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate × time

If B is the rate of the boat, and C is the rate of the current, then we can write two equations:

18 = (B + C) × 3

18 = (B − C) × 9

Simplifying the equations:

6 = B + C

2 = B − C

Add the equations together to eliminate C:

8 = 2B

B = 4

Plug into either equation to find C:

C = 2

The boat's rate is 4 mph, and the current's rate is 2 mph.

allsm [11]

Answer:

y + 3 = 2(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = 2 and (a, b) = (- 1, - 3), thus

y - (- 3) = 2(x - (- 1)), that is

y + 3 = 2(x + 1)

Assuming a fair die, 
probability of winning 0.25 = (2/6) = 1/3
probability of losing 0.25 = (4/6) = 2/3

Expected win
= sum (proba.*winning)
=0.25*(1/3) + (-0.25)(2/3)
=-0.25/3
= - (1/12) dollars  (negative sign means expecting to lose)
