Answer:
6.11km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the speed that Kelli swims be represented by Y
Speed of the river = 5km/hr
Distance = Speed × Time
Kelli swam upstream for some distance in one hour
Swimming upstream takes a negative sign, hence:
1 hour ×( Y - 5) = Distance
Distance = Y - 5
She then swam downstream the same river for the same distance in only 6 minutes
Downstream takes a positive sign
Converting 6 minutes to hour =
60 minutes = 1 hour
6 minutes =
Cross Multiply
6/60 = 1/10 hour
Hence, Distance =
1/10 × (Y + 5)
= Y/10 + 1/2
Equating both equations we have:
Y - 5 = Y/10 + 1/2
Collect like terms
Y - Y/10 = 5 + 1/2
9Y/10 = 5 1/2
9Y/ 10 = 11/2
Cross Multiply
9Y × 2 = 10 × 11
18Y = 110
Y = 110/18
Y = 6.1111111111 km/hr
Therefore, Kelli's can swim as fast as 6.11km/hr still in the water.

Answer:
x = 3
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
9x - y = 26 ---------------(I)
9x + y = 28 ---------------(II)
9x - y = 26
9x = 26 + y
Substitute 9x = 26 + y in equation (II)
26 + y + y = 28 {add like terms}
26 + 2y = 28 {subtract 26 from both sides}
2y = 28 - 26
2y = 2 {divide both sides by 2}
y = 2/2
y = 1
Substitute y =1 in equation (I)
9x - 1 = 26
9x = 26 + 1
9x = 27
x = 27/9
x = 3
x = 3
y = 1
It has two pairs of same angles: that means that the opposite sides are parallel: this makes it a parallelogram.
To be parallel, gradients are the same!
so the gradient is -5/2.
y=-5/2x +c
substitute the points youve been givrn into this to find c!
7=-5/2 (-6) +c
7=15 +c
c must equal -7
y=-5/2x -7
