An easy formula to use for this is -b+-√b^2-4(a×c)] /2(a) . This gave me ;

8+-√-8^2-4(2(-24)) /2(2)

8+-√64-4(-48)/4

8+-√64+192]/4

8+-√256]/4

8+-16/4

8+16=24/4=6

8-16=-8/4=-2

John has a boat that will travel at the rate of 15 kph in still water. He can go upstream for 35 km in the same time it takes to
Otrada [13]

Answer:

The boat traveling at 24 kph when John goes downstream.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

John has a boat that will travel at the rate of 15 kph in still water.

Let x be the speed of the current.

Speed of boat in upstream

(15-x)\text{ kph}

Speed of water in downstream

(15+x)\text{ kph}

Relation:

\text{Speed} = \dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

We have to find the speed of boat in downstream.

Time to travel upstream for 35 km = Time to travel  140 km downstream

\displaystyle\frac{35}{15-x}=\frac{140}{15+x}\\\\35(15+x) = 140(15-x)\\525 + 35x = 2100 - 140x\\175x = 1575\\x = 9

Thus, speed of current is 9 kph.

Speed of boat in downstream = 15 + 9 = 24 kph.

Thus, the boat traveling at 24 kph when John goes downstream.

Kenny is 8 years older than Andrew. Tim is 3 times
9966 [12]

Answer:

Kenny is 18 years old Andrew is 10 years old Tim is 30 years old and Cameron is  5 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be Kenny's age , b be Andrew's age , c be Tim's age , d be Cameron's age

( b < a , b<c , d<b)

Kenny is 8 years older than Andrewn = > a = b + 8 (1)

Tim is 3 times  as old as Andrew => c = 3 . b (2)

Cameron is 5 years younger than  Andrew => d = b-5 (3)

The combined age of the four is 63 => a+b+c+d = 63 (4)

(1),(2),(3),(4) => b+8 + b + 3b + b-5 = 63 <=> 6b + 3 = 63 <=> b = 10

=> a= 10+8 =18, c = 3 . 10 = 30, d= 5

A candy distributor needs to mix a 40% fat-content chocolate with a 60% fat-content chocolate to create 100 kilograms of a 56% f
max2010maxim [7]

Solving a system of equations we can see that:

They need to use 80kg of the 60% chocolate and 20kg of the 40% chocolate.

<h3>How to find how much of each candy needs to be used?</h3>

Let's define the variables:

  • x = kilograms of the 40% chocolate.
  • y = kilograms of the 60% chocolate.

They want to make 100kg, then:

x + y = 100

And the concentration must be of the 56%, then we can write:

x*0.4 + y*0.6 = (100)*0.56 = 56

Then we have a system of equations:

x + y = 100

x*0.4 + y*0.6 = 56

To solve this, we can isolate x on the first equation to get:

x = 100 - y

Now replace that in the other equation:

(100 - y)*0.4 + y*0.6 = 56

40 + y*0.2 = 56

y*0.2 = 16

y = 16/0.2 = 80

This means that they need to use 80kg of the 60% chocolate and the other 20kg of the 40% chocolate.
