<u>Answer:</u>

Rate of river current is = 3 mph

<u>Explanation: </u>

Given speed of boat in still water is equal to 12mph

We know speed = distance divided by time

Given distance travelled upstream = 6 miles and

that distance travelled downstream = 10 miles

Let x = rate of river current

and t = time taken to travel 6miles upstream as well as to travel 10 miles downstream

We know, speed downstream = speed of current + speed of boat = x + 12

Speed upstream = speed of current - speed of boat = x - 12

speed downstream = 10 divided by t and speed upstream = 6 divided by t

so the two equations are -

$\frac{10}{t}=\mathrm{x}+12$

and $\frac{6}{t}=x-12$

dividing the two equations we get $\frac{10}{6}=\frac{(x+12)}{(x-12)}$

$10 \times(\mathrm{x}-12)=6 \times(\mathrm{x}+12)$

solving for x we get x = 3mph is the rate of river current.

Yeeee

assuming your equaiton is
$2ln(e^{ln(2x)})-ln(e^{ln(10x)})=ln(30)$

remember some nice log rules
$log_a(b)=c$ translates to $a^c=b$
and
$a^{log_a(b)}=b$
and
$xlog_c(b)=log_c(b^x)$
and
$ln(x)=log_e(x)$
and
$log(a)-log(b)=log(\frac{a}{b})$
and
if $log(a)=log(b)$ then a=b

so

we can simplify a bit of stuff here

the $e^{ln(2x)} \space\ and \space\ the \space\ e^{ln(10x)}$ can be simplified to $2x \space\ and \space\ 10x$

so we gots now

$2ln(2x)-ln(10x)=ln(30)$
$ln((2x)^2)-ln(10x)=ln(30)$
$ln(4x^2)-ln(10x)=ln(30)$
$ln(\frac{4x^2}{10x})=ln(30)$
same base so
$\frac{4x^2}{10x}=30$
$\frac{2x}{5}=30$
times both sides by 5
$2x=150$
divide both sides by 2
$x=75$
answer is x=75

Plz help i dont understand and if u can help i will mark brainliest!!

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Let fertilizer be F

and peat moss be P

since F is proportional to P

F = kP

where, k = constant of proportionality

k = F/P

putting in the values,

k = (3/4) /12

k = 3/4 * 1/12

k = 1/16

Therefore the constant of proportionality is 1/16.

magan wants to ride his bicycle 30.4 miles this week. he has already ridden 4 miles if he rides for 4 more days what is the aver

Kaylis [27]

The average number of miles he will ride each day to meet his goal is 6.6 miles

<h3>How to find the average number of miles she will ride?</h3>

He wants to ride his bicycle 30.4 miles this week.

He has already ridden 4 miles.

He rides 4 more days.

Therefore, the average number of miles he would have to ride each day to meet his goal can be calculated as follows:

let

x = number of miles driven

Hence, the equation can be represented as follows;

4x + 4 = 30.4

Therefore,

4x + 4 = 30.4

4x + 4 - 4 = 30.4 - 4

4x = 26.4

x = 26.4 / 4

x = 6.6

Therefore, the average number of miles he will ride each day to meet his goal is 6.6 miles
