Answer:

9 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

-let x be the speed of current and t be time. The speed equation for both directions can then be represented as:

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\\\#Upstream\\(u-6)t=9\\\\\#Donwstream\\\\(u+6)t=45

#Since t is equal in both, we can do away with t.

#We the divide the downstream equation by the upstream equation as:

\frac{u+6}{u-6}=\frac{45}{9}\\\\(u+6)=5(u-6)\\\\u+6=5u-30\\\\4u=36\\\\u=9

Hence, the boat's speed in still water is  9 mph

Ayush and sumit take two different routes to school. Ayush's route is 1km 2hm long while sumit route is 2hm 30dam long while rou
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Ayush's route is 0.7 km or 700m longer than Sumit route.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ayush's route is 1km 2hm long while sumit route is 2hm 30dam.

We know that,

1 km = 10 hm

1 dam = 0.1 hm

Using these conversions we get

Ayush's route = 1km 2hm = (1×10) hm + 2 hm = 12 hm

Sumit route = 2hm 30dam = 2 hm + (30×0.1) hm = 2 hm + 3 hm = 5 hm

Ayush's route is longer.

Difference = 12 hm - 5 hm = 7 hm = 0.7 km            [1 km = 10 hm]

Hence, Ayush's route is 0.7 km or 700 m longer than Sumit route.

Which table values can be defined by the function y=2x+3
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

beggining poit:3   second point (potentially):  1,5

Step-by-step explanation:

in the y intercept 3 is it so which ever has a 3 as the starting point there could be an option

for the 2x part that is the slope otherwise known as rise over run so what you do is that you turn it to a fraction over or under 1 meaning you rise for 2 and go to the right 1

rise 2

      _

run  1

in order to rise 2 you go up 2 from the y intercept(3) and in order to run you go right since its a positive

once you plot those two dots then you draw a line across
