Let 'x' be the distance from THE far bank where 700 is the distance to the NEAR bank
boat one has travelled 700 (rate = 700/unit time) boat two has travelled x rate = x / unit time
boat one then travels x + 400 more and boat two travels 700 + (700+x -400) more when they meet
The time is the same rate x time = distance distance/rate = time equate the distances divided by the respective rates
(700 + x + 400)/700 = ( x + 700 + (700+x-400) )/x
1100x + x^2 = 1400x + 700000
x^2-300x -700000 = 0 quadratic formula yields x = 1000
One boat travels 700 the other 1000 whe they first meet.....width of river = 700+ 1000 = 1700 m
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of workers is our unknown. If 40% of this unknown number are women and the number of women is 1380, then the equation looks like this:
(remember that the word "of" generally means to multiply)
(also remember that we have to use the decimal form of a percent in an equation)
.40(x) = 1380 then divide to get the number of total workers:
x = 3450
Answer:
The length of a rectangular garden is: 13 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
You have 2 lengths that are 2x-3 feet, and 2 widths that are x.
2x-3 + 2x-3 +x +x =42 feet
4x -6 +2x -42 feet
6x -6 = 42 feet
6x = 48 feet
x = 8 feet (so, 2x-3 = 16-3 = 13 feet)
Answer:
let A (2, 6) be (x1, y1)
B (-5, 2) be (x2, y2)
distance AB =√[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]
√[(-7)²+ (-4)²]
√65
