Answer:

  • 12 mph and 4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the speed of the boat = b and the speed of the current = c

<u>Equations to reflect time, time = distance/speed:</u>

  • Downstream
  • 80/(b + c)= 5 ⇒ b - c = 80/5 ⇒ b + c = 16
  • Upstream
  • 80/(b - c) = 10 ⇒ b - c = 80/10 ⇒ b - c = 8

<u>Sum of the 2 equations above</u>

  • b + c  + b - c = 16 + 8
  • 2b = 24
  • b = 12
  • c = 16 - 12 = 4

So the speed of the boat is 12 mph

The speed of the current is 4 mph

Which of the following equations is equivalent to -2(2 − 2x) = 4 − 8(1 − x) ?
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

0 = 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(2 - 2x) = 4 - 8(1 - x)

-4 + 4x = 4 - 8 + 8x

-4 + 4x = -4 + 8x

-4 + 4 = 8x - 4x

0 = 4x
