                              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

One page of a petition can hold p signatures. You were able to get 4p+5 people to sign the petition. Your friend was able to get
leva [86]

Answer:

6p - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that needs to be made in this question refers to the total number of people that signed the petition. To calculate this we need to add the total number of signatures that both you and your friend were able to acquire. Once we do this we simply combine like terms in order to simplify the expression as much as possible.

4p + 5 + 2p - 3

4p + 2p + 5 - 3

6p - 2

Therefore, the total and simplified expression for the total number of signatures would be 6p - 2

Someone help please this is for trigonometry
Softa [21]
Hi there!

Something really good to remember about trigonometry is SOHCAHTOA. I won’t dive into too much detail about it, but you should google it for future assignments.

Anyways,

tan50°=14/AB
ABtan50°=14
AB=14/tan50°
AB=11.75

cos50°=14/AC
ACcos50°=14
AC=14/cos50°
AC=21.78

For the measure of angle C you can use a theorem called the third angle theorem. In every single possible triangle, the sum of all three angles adds up to 180°. You can set up an equation like so...

angleC=180-(90+50)
angleC=180-140
angleC=40°

Consider the equation below.
vaieri [72.5K]

Hello there

-y+2= -12(8y+8)

-y+2= -96y+96

-y+96y=96-2

95y=94

y=94/95

When two equal forces are inclined at an angle 2a their resultant is twice as great as
swat32

Step-by-step answer:

Referring to the attached diagram, the resultant of two forces each with magnitude F and inclined to each other at 2a equals

Ra = 2Fcos(a) ..............................(1)

Similarly, the resultant of two forces each with magnitude F and inclined to each other at 2b equals

Rb = 2Fcos(b)..............................(2)

We are given that

Ra = 2Rb  ....................................(3)

Substitute (1) & (2) in (3) gives

2Fcos(a) = 2(2Fcos(b))

Expand

2Fcos(a) = 4Fcos(b)

Simplify

cos(a) = 2 cos(b)   QED

Note: Please note that you might have a faster response if you posted this question in the physics or the (new) Engineering section.

Have a nice day!
