Answer:
x= 7.5 mile/h
y= 3.5 miles / h
Step-by-step explanation:
Given x and y
so, x+y = speed down river
and x-y= speed up river
using
travel time = distance / speed for each case;
we get;
22/x+y=2 ---(1)
and
22/x-y=5.5 -----(2)
Solving equations simultaneously
eq 1 gives
2x+2y=22 ---(3)
eq 2 gives
5.5x-5.5y=22 ----(4)
Multiply eq 3 by 2.75
==> 5.5x+5.5y=60.5 --- (5)
adding eq 4 with eq 5
==> 11x =82.5
==> x= 7.5 miles/h
put this value in eq 3
==> 2(7.5)+2y=22
==> 2y=22-19.8
==> 2y=7
==> y = 3.5
Y = mx + b....m is the slope and b is the y intercept
slope(m) = 5...(4,0)...x = 4 and y = 0
now we sub our info into y = mx + b...we r looking for b, the y intercept
0 = 5(4) + b
0 = 20 + b
-20 = b
so ur equation is y = 20x - 20...but we need it in standard form
Ax + By = C
y = 20x - 20....subtract 20x from both sides
-20x + y = -20...multiply by -1 to make x positive
20x - y = 20 <== standard form
Answer:
s=7w + 85..$141 in total for 8 weeks
50+2x=100
-50 -50(subtract 50 from both sides)
2x=50 (divide both sides by 2)
x=25
1. move 78.2 over to the over side. This will give you 287-78.2.
2. when you have .5x = 208.8, divide both sides by .5
3. this should give you x= 417.6
4. make sure to check your work by plugging you answer back into x.
