Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.
b = speed rate of the boat.
c = speed rate of the current.
keeping in mind that, as the boat goes Upstream, against the current, it's speed is not "b", but is really " b - c ", because the current is subtracting speed from it.
likewise, when the boat is going Downstream, because is going with the current, is really going faster at " b + c ".

what is the speed of the boat? well, 61 + c = b.
Do as the apples goes up in 4s
3 7 11 the goes 3 +4 = 7, 7+4 = 11
and Sees goes up in 40's
30 70 110
and rate of change is

its 40/4 or 10/1 (that's the first one)
Answer:
x = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We need a value of x that would result in 2x+9 = 12
2x+9 = 12
2x = 12 - 9
2x = 3
x = 3/2 or 1.5
====
CHECK
Does 2x+9 = 12 when x = 1.5?
2x+9 = 12
2(1.5)+9 = 12
3 + 9 = 12 YES
The ans is choice D. since there nothing under 5x, imagine there is a 1 under. After that, you can simply cross multiply, so it would be 1(6+8x)= 2(5x). 6+8x= 10x now combine like terms so subtract 8x from both sides and divide 6 by 2 and you will get 3
