Answer:

9 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let x be the speed of the boat upstream.

-Since the time upstream and downstream is equal, we will equate their time functions to solve for x:

-Speed upstream=x-8

-Speed downstream=x+8

#We then equate as follows:

Time =\frac{Distance}{Speed}\\\\Time_1=Time_2\\\\\\\frac{10}{x-8}=\frac{20}{x+8}\\\\10(x+8)=20(x-8)\\\\10x+80=20x-160\\\\10x=240\\\\x=24\ mph

Hence, the speed of the boat in still water is 9 mph

Answer:

(-2,21)

Step-by-step explanation:

2 days ago, Paulo's commute time was halfway between his commute times 8 and 9 days ago.

8 days ago means that x-coordinate -8 represents this day. Count 8 units to the left and find that when x = -8, y = 24 minutes.

9 days ago means that x-coordinate -9 represents this day. Count 9 units to the left and find that when x = -9, y = 18 minutes.

Find halfway commute time between points (-8,24) and (-9,18):

y=\dfrac{24+18}{2}=\dfrac{42}{2}=21,

then coordinates that Paulo should graph are

(-2, 21)

(-2 means 2 days ago, 21 is the halfway)

A soccer team wins 65% of its matches, and 15% of its matches end in a draw. If the team is scheduled to play 20 matches, about
Finger [1]
The team plays 20 matches. 

65% of the matches, the teams wins
= 20 * 0.65
= 13 matches

15% of the matches, the games ends in draw.
= 20 * 0.15
= 3 matches

The team is expected to lose in 
= 20 - 13 - 3
= 4 matches
