Answer:

answer: the crews rowing rate is 6 mph and the rate of the current is 3 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

v the crew rowing rate

u rate of the current

downstream  v + u = 13.5/1.5 = 9 mph

upstream      v - u = 13.5/4.5 = 3 mph

u = 9 - v

v - ( 9 - v ) = 3

v - 9 + v = 3

2 v = 12

v 6 mph,   u 9 - 6 = 3 mph

Claire accepted a new job at a company with a contract guaranteeing annual raises. Let S
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to write an equation for this problem. I'll write it in slope intercept:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

To find m, do (change in y/change in x):

using (2, 59000) and (5, 72500),

(72500 - 59000) / (5 - 2)

= 13500 / 3

= 4500

So we have y = 4500x + b

To find b, plug in one of the points into the equation with the slope:

using (2, 59000),

y = 4500x + b

59000 = 4500(2) + b

59000 = 9000 + b

50000 = b

So now you have an equation: y = 4500x + 50000. Now that there is an equation, just insert the given y-value and solve:

when y = 77000

y = 4500n + 50000

= 77000 = 4500x + 50000

= 27000 = 4500x

= 6 = x

So, when Claire's Salary is 77000, her number of years at the company is 6.
