A motorboat takes

Mathematics
1 answer:
vagabundo [1.1K]3 years ago
4 0
Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

let's say the boat's rate is "b" in still water, and the current's rate is "c"

as the boat goes upstream, is not really going "b" fast, the water is not still anyway, is going much slower, is going " b - c ", because the current's rate is eroding speed because is going against the current.

as the boat goes downstream, is not going "b" fast either, is going faster, is going " b + c " fast, because is going downstream and thus with the current and the current is adding speed to it.  notice, it takes longer going up, 5hrs, then coming down, 3hrs, same 150 on each way.

\bf \begin{array}{llll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
upstream&150&b-r&5\\
downstream&150&b+r&3
\end{array}
\\\\\\

\begin{cases}
150=(b-r)5\\
\qquad \frac{150}{5}=b-r\\
\qquad 30=b-r\\
\qquad 30+r=\boxed{b}\\
150=(b+r)3\\
\qquad \frac{150}{3}=b+r\\
\qquad 50=b+r\\
\qquad 50=\boxed{30+r}+r
\end{cases}

solve for "r"

what's the boat's rate? well, 30+r = b

PLEASE HELP ME!! 1.02: Triangle Similarity 1<br><br> What is the value of X?
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

<h2>x = 28</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔARP and ΔCRD are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{AR}{CR}=\dfrac{PR}{DR}

We have:

AR = 10 + x

CR = x

PR = 15 + 42 = 57

DR = 42

Substitute:

\dfrac{10+x}{x}=\dfrac{57}{42}           <em>cross multiply</em>

42(10+x)=57x             <em>use distributive property</em>

(42)(10)+(42)(x)=57x

420+42x=57x         <em>subtract 42x from both sides</em>

420=15x            <em>divide both sides by 15</em>

x=28

Which is the solution set of 7y +1&gt; 8y- 9?
fomenos

Answer:

y < 10 or (10, -∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

7y + 1 > 8y - 9

Simply get the y's on the right by subtracting 7y from both sides:

1 > y - 9

then adding 9 to both sides:

y < 10

or in interval notation:

(10, -∞)
