                              time       *      rate          =       distance

Downstream           4           *       x              =          4(x)

Upstream                6           *     x - 2           =        6(x - 2)

distance downstream = distance upstream:

                              4(x) = 6(x - 2)

                               4x  = 6x - 12

                              -2x  =   -12

                                 x   =    6

Distance Upstream: 4x   = 4(6)   = 24

Distance Upstream: 6(x - 2)  = 6(6 - 2)   = 6(4)   = 24

Total distance traveled is Upstream + Downstream = 24 + 24 = 48

Answer: 48 miles

The ratio of x to y is 1/2 . If the ratio of x + 2 to y + 1 is 2/3 , then what is the value of x?​
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

x =4

Step-by-step explanation:

x/y = 1/2

(x + 2) / (y + 1) = 2/3

Cross multiply the first equation

2x = y

Put that value for y into the second equation.

(x + 2) / (2x + 1) = 2/3              Cross multiply

3(x + 2) = 2(2x + 1)                   Remove the brackets.

3x + 6 = 4x + 2                        Subtract 3x from both sides

6 = 4x - 3x + 2

6 = x + 2                                  Subtract 2 from both sides

6-2 = x

x = 4

<h3>Question:</h3>

<em>Jon is selling tickets for the school talent show. On the 1st day, he sold 3 senior tickets and 12 child tickets for $195. On the 2nd day he sold 13 senior tickets for $299. Find the price of a senior citizen ticket.</em>

<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • $23

Create a system of equations to help you solve this problem. The system of equations will look like: 3s + 12c = 195 and 13s = 299. The variable s represents the cost of senior tickets and the variable c represents the cost of children tickets.

\left \{ {{3s~+~12c~=~195} \atop {13s~=~299}} \right.

Solve the second equation for the variable s as this is the easiest way to solve the problem. Solve the second equation for s by dividing both sides of the equation by 13 to isolate the variable s.

s = 23

Since the question was only asking for the price of a senior citizen ticket, you are technically done. The first equation was only put there to confuse you or allow you to check your work if you needed to. The price of a senior citizen ticket (variable s) is $23.
