Let the speed of the current be y and the speed of Micah's sailing speed be x. Then 4.48/(x + y) = 0.32
4.48/(x - y) = 0.56

0.32x + 0.32y = 4.48 . . . (1)
0.56x - 0.56y = 4.48 . . . (2)
(1) x 7 => 2.24x + 2.24y = 31.36 . . . (3)
(2) x 4 => 2.24x - 2.24y = 17.92 . . . (4)
(3) - (4) => 4.48y = 13.44
y = 3
From (1), 0.32x + 0.32(3) = 4.48
0.32x = 4.48 - 0.96 = 3.52
x = 3.52/0.32 = 11

Therefore, the speed of the current is 3 miles per hour.

Which expressions are equivalent to 2^5 2^4
KIM [24]

Answer with explanation:

The given expression is

=2^5 \times 2^4

→As, multiplication of real number follows Commutative property.

Which states that, if a and b are any two real numbers , then

a × b= b × a

The Expression equivalent to ,the above expression are

1. 2^4 \times 2^5\\\\ 2. 2^5=32 \text{and} 2^4=16, \text{So} 2^5 \times 2^4=32 \times 16=512

1. COST Mr. Rivera wants to purchase a riding lawn
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

p(x) = 0.85x

t(x) = 1.065x

(t o p)(x) = 0.9x

$2700

Step-by-step explanation:

If the marked price is $x, then the function p(x) that gives the price of the riding lawn mower after 15% discount will be

p(x) = x(1 - \frac{15}{100}) = 0.85x

where x is the marked price.

Now, the function that gives the total cost with sales tax will be given by

t(x) = x(1 + \frac{6.5}{100}) = 1.065x

where x is the discounted price.

Therefore, the composite function that gives the total cost of the riding lawn mower on sale is given by

(t o p)(x) = 1.065(0.85x) = 0.9x ............ (1)

where x is the marked price.

If the marked price x = $3000, then Mr. Rivera has to pay for the riding lawn mower, from equation (1),

(t o p)(3000) = 0.9 × 3000 = 2700 dollars. (Answer)
