x - boat speed; y - current speed; Path = 336:2 = 168 miles
1) 12 * (x + y) = 168; -> x + y = 14;
2) 14 * (x - y) = 168; -> x - y = 12;
1) x = 14 - y;
2) (14 - y) - y = 12;
14 - 2y = 12;
2y = 2;
y = 1 mph
x = 14 - 1 = 13 mph
Answer:
Boat speed = 13 mph
Current speed = 1 mph
This is not possible, because if you had 11 coins, then not even 11 dimes will cover it, because 11*10 is 110, or $1.10
343 = 7 x 7 x 7
the answer is 7,7, and well 7
1. x
2. x + 2
3. x + 4
x + 4 + 2x = 25. Second option is the answer.
Combine like terms
3x + 4 = 25
Subtract 4 from both sides
3x = 21
Divide both sides by 3
x = 7
