Let s be the boy's swim speed. Then:
.9/s+1.5=.6/s-1.5
.6s+.9=.9s-1.35
.3s=2.25
s=7.5 mph as the boy's swimming speed

Order the numbers from least to greatest.<br> 1/8, 5/7, 0.35,0.39, 9/10
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

1/8, 0.35, 0.39, 5/7, 9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

1/8 = 0.125

5/7 = 0.714

0.350

0.390

9/10 = 0.900

now let's order them from least to greatest:

0.125 , 0.350 , 0.390 , 0.714 , 0.900

= 1/8, 0.35, 0.39, 5/7, 9/10

if you have trouble with these types of problems change them all into decimals which will make things easier!

:D

What is the slope of the line? y + 5=2(x+1)
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

y+5=2(x+1)

This is in the format point-slope form, where:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Here, m is the slope.

In our original equation, 2 replaces m.

Therefore, our slope is 2.
