Answer:

3.9 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

If the boy is rowing perpendicular to the current, the two vectors form a right triangle.

AB represents the downstream current, BC is the speed across the river, and AC is the ground speed of the boat

AC^2 = 2.4^2 + 3.1^2 =5.76 + 9.61 = 15.37

AC = sqrt(15.37) = 3.9 mi/h

The boat's speed over the ground is 3.9 mi/h.

You have to spend money to make money ! You purchase a mix of newspaper ads and online ads. Each newspaper ad cost $18.50 and ea
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

You buy six newspaper ads & eighteen social media ads.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we change ads into variables to be more easier to calculate :

Let newspaper = x

Let social media = y

Second, make this variables into an equation, given that you purchase a total of 24 ads :

x + y = 24 (first equation)

Next, given that x = $18.50 & y = $26.50 & spent a total of $588 so you can make another equation :

18.50x + 26.50y = 588 (second equation)

Now, solve this simultaneous equation using elimination or substitution (depends on you) :

substitution =>

x + y = 24 ----------(1)

18.50x + 26.50y = 588 ---------(2)

(1)=> y = 24 - x ------(3)

(3)=>(2) 18.5x + 26.5(24-x) = 588

18.5x + 636 - 26.5x = 588

-8x = -48

x = 6

sub x=6 into(3)

(3)=> y = 24 - 6

= 18

newspaper = x

= 6

social media = y

= 18
