Answer:

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) subtract 15 on both sides

should look like: -6x=18

2) divide the -6 on both sides

3) 18 divided by -6 is -3

A motorboat maintained a constant speed of 15 miles per hour related to water going 44 miles upstream then returning the total t

yanalaym [24]

The speed of the current is 13 mph

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

speed refers to distance travelled per unit time. This is a vector quantity this implies that it has magnitude and direction.

The unit for speed as used here is miles per hour and can be written in short form as mph

<u>Given data</u>

speed of boat = 15 miles per hour = 15 mph

distance = 44 miles upstream

total time for the trip = 7.5 hours

<h3>solving for the speed of the current</h3>

let the water current be x

speed = distance / time

the total travel time upstream and downstream is known

for upstream

15 - x = 44 / time

time = 44 / 15 - x

for downstream

15 + x = 44 / time

time = 44 / 15 + x

total time = time for upstream + time for downstream = 7.5

7.5 = (44 / 15 - x ) + ( 44 / 15 + x )

7.5 = ( 44 ( 15 + x ) + 44 ( 15 - x ) ) / ( 15 + x )( 15 - x )

7.5 ( 15 + x )( 15 - x ) = 210 +44x + 210 - 44x

7.5 ( 225 - x ^ 2 ) = 420

( 225 - x ^ 2 ) = 56

169 = x ^ 2

x = sqrt ( 169 )

x = 13 miles per hour

hence speed of current is 13 miles per hour

Whitepunk [10]

Answer: The greatest number of rows Li Na can plant is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Li Na is going to plant 63 tomato plants and 81 rhubarb plants.

Li Na would like to plant the plants in rows where each row has the same number of tomato plants and each row has the same number of rhubarb plants.

To find the greatest number of rows Li Na can plant, we need to find the GCF of 63 and 81.

Since , $63=7\times9\ and\ 81=8\times9$

Clearly, GCF(63,81)=9

Therefore, the greatest number of rows Li Na can plant is 9.

Asking again because last time I didnt get an actual answer. What is the surface area of this composite figure?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

644 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

10*7*2+12*7*2+12*10=140+168+120=428

10*12-3*3=111

428+111=539

8*3*4+3*3=96+9=105

539+105=644

Help me plz i dont understand how t=40

timama [110]

Answer:

t=40

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all angles in a triangle will always equal 180°. This means that:

(2t-42)+(4t-49)+(2t-49) = 180°

Let's solve this equation!

(2t-42)+(4t-49)+(2t-49) = 180

First we simplify what's on the left side:

2t-42+4t-49+2t-49 = 180

2t+4t+2t-42-49-49 = 180

8t-140 = 180

*Add 140 to both sides

8t = 180+140

8t = 320

Divide both sides by 8 to know what t means:

t = 320/8

t = 40
