Step-by-step explanation:
its actually 27.8125 but if we're estimating im assuming that means to round
Answer:
54.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Can you make the question more clear
If she went 10 miles upstream in the same time as she went 20 miles downstream, that means the downstream speed is twice the upstream speed.
The speed is still water is 9 mph.
The speed of the current is c.
Going downstream, the current adds speed, so the sped downstream is 9 + c.
The speed upstream is 9 - c.
9 + c is twice 9 - c.
9 + c = 2(9 - c)
9 + c = 18 - 2c
3c = 9
c = 3
Answer: The speed of the current is 3 mph.
Check:
9 + c = 12
9 - c = 6
By taking into the account the speed of the current, the downstream speed, 12 mph, is indeed twice the upstream sped, 6 mph.
Answer:
1 + 3x or 3x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
2*5x = 10x
2*-5 = -10
1+10x-7x
10x-7x = 3
1+3x
