Answer:

Width of river = 0.25 mile

As length of river is not given , but it is given that  campsite is located 1 mile east upstream, So length of river = 1 mile

Speed of mine in river while going upstream = 3 miles per hour

Speed of current as going Upstream = 1 miles per hour

Now Reduced speed of mine = Speed of mine in river while going upstream - Speed of current as going Upstream

                                              = 3 - 1

                                              = 2 miles per hour

1. There are two ways to reach campsite

(a) either walk 1 mile from starting point in east direction and then swim 0.25 mile in North direction to reach campsite.

Or

(b) From the starting point Considering a right triangle having, base=1 mile and altitude = 0.25 mile, then finding the length of hypotenuse using formula = \sqrt{(altitude)^2 + (Base)^2

=\sqrt{.25^2+1^2}

=√1.0625

=1.03078(approx)

⇒ you must walk a distance of 1 mile in the east direction and then swim 0.25 mile north direction to reach directly at campsite.[shown in the diagram]

Help.. solve for the given variable <br>-5(r - 6) + 3(-8 + 8r) = -32
12345 [234]
-5(r - 6) + 3(-8 + 8r) = -32

STEP 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

<span><span><span>19r</span>+6</span>=<span>−32</span></span><span><span><span>19r</span>+6</span>=<span>−32
</span></span>
STEP 2: Subtract 6 from both sides.
<span><span><span><span>19r</span>+6</span>−6</span>=<span><span>−32</span>−6</span></span><span><span>19r</span>=<span>−<span>38

STEP 3: Divide both sides by 19.
19r/19 = -38/19
r = -2

FINAL ANSWER: r  = -2</span></span></span>
