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.

Which expression is equivalent to (18)2⋅(19)2
sladkih [1.3K]

The expression that is equivalent to the given expression where the expression is given as (18)2⋅(19)2 is (18 * 19)^2

<h3>How to determine which expression is equivalent to the given expression? </h3>

The expression is given as

(18)2⋅(19)2

Rewrite the above expression properly

So, we have

(18)^2 * (19)^2

The factors in the above expression have the same exponent.

So, the expression can be rewritten as

(18 * 19)^2

Hence, the expression that is equivalent to the given expression where the expression is given as (18)2⋅(19)2 is (18 * 19)^2

What is 10/15 = N/96
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

n = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve using cross products

10/15 = n/96

10*96 = 15*n

960 = 15n

Divide each side by 15

960/15 =15n/15

64 = n

pychu [463]

Answer:

5x^2 + 20x = 5x(x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to factorize;

5x^2 + 20x

To do this, we start by writing the common factors

The common actor that we can see which is in the form of the gcf of both is 5x

Thus, the factorization will be;

5x^2 + 20x = 5x( x + 4)
