Answer:

Boat = 20 mph

Current = 5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If b is the speed of the boat, and c is the speed of the current, then:

b + c = 225 / 9 = 25

b − c = 225 / 15 = 15

Solve the system of equations with elimination.

2b = 40

b = 20

Plug back into either equation to find the speed of the current.

c = 5

Solve by factoring the equation x^2+36=12x
Fudgin [204]
x^2+36=12x\\\\x^2-12x+36=0\\\\x^2-6x-6x+36=0\\\\x(x-6)-6(x-6)=0\\\\(x-6)(x-6)=0\\\\(x-6)^2=0\iff x-6=0\Rightarrow\boxed{x=6}

I was absent when we learned this, please help

Part a
For horizontal 8*50% = 4 and for vertical 12*75%= 9.
So these values are less than the originals so the new frame is a reduction.
Part b
For horizontal 8*125% = 8*1.25 = 10 and for vertical 12*140% = 12*1.4 =16.8
So these values are greater than the originals sothe new frame is a enlargement.

The Dot plots below show the number of sales made by Jason and Shane at work over the past seven days. Which observation about t
IgorLugansk [536]

Jason's data distribution is symmetrical and shows no outliers; Shane's data distribution is uniform and shows no outliers also. Therefore, the correct observation about the data sets that is correct is:<em> Option B.</em>

<h3>Symmetrical and Uniform Data Distribution on a Dot Plot</h3>
  • If the data plotted on the dot plot shows a bell shape curve and can be divided into equal halves by a vertical line, the data distribution is symmetrical.
  • When the data is spread equally across the range with no clear peaks, the data distribution is uniform.

<h3>What are Outliers?</h3>

Outliers are values that are far from the middle and are entirely different from the rest of the data.

The dot plots for sales made by Jason and Shane are shown in the image attached below.

Jason's data distribution is symmetrical and shows no outliers; Shane's data distribution is uniform and shows no outliers also. Therefore, the correct observation about the data sets that is correct is:<em> Option B.</em>
