Answer:
The value of x is: x > -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The interval notation if you need it is (-2, ♾)
2/15+3/15=5/15 5 can go into both 5/5=1 and 15/5=3 which means
=1/3 is the answer
Answer: 3 miles per hour
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Use the formula "distance (d) = rate (r) x time (t)" to create a system of equations.
Let "r" represent the rate they are rowing
Let "c" represent the current
time rate distance <u>EQUATION</u>
Downstream: 4 hours r + c 40 miles 4(r + c) = 40
Upstream: 10 hours r - c 40 miles 10(r - c) = 40
Distribute, then eliminate r to solve for c:
Down: 4r + 4c = 40 → 5(4r + 4c = 40) → 20r + 20c = 200
Up: 10r - 10c = 40 → -2(10r - 10c = 40) → <u>-20r + 20c</u> =<u> -80</u>
40c = 120
<u> ÷40 </u> <u>÷40 </u>
c = 3
