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

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP. I REALLY NEED THIS DONE
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

x = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Altitude- on- Hypotenuse theorem

(leg of big Δ )² = (part of hypotenuse below it ) × (whole hypotenuse)

x² = 25 × 169 = 4225 ( take square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{4225} = 65
