Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2 = 4x - 9
Collecting like terms
5x - 4x = -9 - 2
x = -11
Answer:
4 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
Boat speed = 20 mph
speed of current = x mph
Distance against current = 2 miles
Distance with current = 3 miles
speed against current will be ; 20 - x
speed with current will be ; 20 + x
Time =distance / speed against time against = time with current
Solving Mathematically ;
2/(20-x )=3/(20 +x)
2(20+x )= 3( 20-x )
40+2x = 60-3x
3x +2x=20
5x=20
x = 20 / 5
x = 4 mph
Speed of current = 4 mph
Yes they do parallel from each other <span />
Answer:
