The speed of the current in a river is 6 mph. A ferry operator who works that part of the river is looking to buy a new boat for
attashe74 [19]
Lest organize and label the information the problem is giving us first:
We know that the total time of the trip is 9 hours, so t_{t}=9. We also know that the total distance of the trip is 22.5 miles, so d_{t}=22.5. And we also know that the speed of the current is 6 mph, so S_{c}=6.
Now, lets organize and label the things we don't know:
We don't know the speed of the boat in the lake, so S_{l}=?. We don't know the time of the trip against the current, so t_{ac}=?. We don't know the time of the trip with the current, so t_{wc}=?

The next thing we are going to do is set up equations to relate the things we don'k know with the things we actually know.
If the distance of the whole trip is 22.5 miles, the distance of the trip against the current is \frac{22.5}{2}=11.25, so d_{ac}=11.25. Similarly, the distance with the current is 11.25, so d_{wc}=11.25.

Now lets use the equation speed= \frac{distance}{time} to solve our problem:
Speed of the boat against the current:
S_{l}-6= \frac{11.25}{t_{ac} } equation (1)
Speed of the boat with the current:
S_{l}+6= \frac{11.25}{t_{wc}} equation (2)
Notice that we don't know the values of t_{ac} and t_{wc}, but we cant take advantage of the fact that the total time of the trip is 9 hours, so 9=t_{ac}+t_{wc}. Lets solve this equation for t_{wc}:
t_{wc}=9-t_{ac} equation (3)

Now we can replace equation (3) in equation (2) to express our equations with only tow variables:
S_{l}+6= \frac{11.25}{9-t_{ac} } equation (4)
Next, lets solve for t_{ac} in equation (4):
S_{l}+6= \frac{11.25}{9-t_{ac}}
9-t_{ac}= \frac{11.25}{S_{l}+6}
-t_{ac}= \frac{11.25}{S_{l}+6} -9
-t_{ac}= \frac{11.25-9S_{l}-54}{S_{l}+6}
-t_{ac}= \frac{-42.75-9S_{l}}{S_{l}+6}
t_{ac}= \frac{42.75+9S_{l}}{S_{l}+6} equation (5)

Replace equation (5) in equation (1):
S_{l}-6= \frac{11.25}{t_{ac}}
S_{l}-6= \frac{11.25}{ \frac{42.75+9S_{l}}{S_{l}+6} } equation (6)

Finally, we can solve equation (6) to find the speed of the boat in the lake:
(S_{l}-6)(42.75+9S_{l})=11.25(S_{l}+6)
42.75S_{l}+9S_{l}^{2} -256.5-54S_{l}=11.25S_{l}+67.5
9S_{l}^{2}-11.25S_{l}-256.5=11.25S_{l}+67.5
9S_{l}^{2}-22.5S_{l}-324=0
Using the quadratic formula to solve our quadratic equation, we get that S_{l}= 7.38 or S_{l}=-4.88. Since speed cannot be negative, the solution of our equation is S_{l}=7.38.

We can conclude that the speed of the boat on the lake <span>must be 7.38 mph in order for it to serve the ferry operator’s needs.</span>

The number of DVDs sold at a store in a month was 925 and the number of DVDs sold decreased by 12 per month. The number of Blu-r
sasho [114]

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>DVDs</u>

  • d = 925 - 12t

<u>Blu-rays</u>

  • d = 507 + 26t

<u>Solve the system:</u>

  • 925 - 12t = 507 + 26t
  • 26t + 12t = 925 - 507
  • 38t = 418
  • t = 418/38
  • t = 11

<u>Number of disks sold in 11 months:</u>

  • 925 - 12*38 = 469

There will be 469 DVDs and Blu-Ray discs sold per month in 11 months
