S=speed of the boat
C=current
Speed upstream = (s-c)
Speed downstream = (s+c)
Distance=time*speed
3(s+c)=72
s+c=24
6(s-c)=60
s-c=10

Use the elimination process to solve the system of equations
s+c=24; s-c=10
2s=34
s=17 mph boat speed

Find the current:
s+c=24
17+c=24
c=24-17
c=7

Check your solutions: 3(s+c)=72 and 6(s-c)=60
3(24)=72
6(10)=60

Solve the system of equations - 8x + 3y = -17 and 3x - y = 7 by combining the<br> equlations.
NeTakaya

Given :

Two equations :

-8x + 3y = -17  ....1)

3x - y = 7        ....2)

To Find :

The solution of the system.

Solution :

Multiplying equation 2) by 3 and adding with equation 1), we get :

(-8x + 3y) + 3(3x - y) = -17 + 21

x = 4

Putting above value of x equation 2) we get :

12 - y = 7

y = 5

Therefore, solution of system is ( 4,5 ).

What is the x-coordinate of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are<br> (2, 3) and (-5, 5)?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

(-3/4, 4)

Step-by-step explaination:

add 2 and -5 then divide them by two and get

-1/2

then add 3 and 5 divide them by two and get

11/2

But as long as you remember that you're averaging the two points' x- and y-values, you'll do fine. It won't matter which point you pick to be the "first" point you plug in. Just make sure that you're adding an x to an x, and a y to a y.

so therefore the answer is (-3/4, 4)

If the​ principal, interest​ rate, or time in a simple interest problem is​ doubled, and the other two quantities remain​ consta
VashaNatasha [74]

In this question we have to find the effect of doubling principal, rate or time .

First we have to check the formula which is

I = P rt

As we see that interest is the product of principal, rate and time. So if any of these three doubles, that is if any of these three is twice of the original value, the interest gets doubled.

SO the correct option is C.
