Answer:

  4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed downstream is (28 mi)/(2 h) = 14 mph.

The speed upstream is (18 mi)/(3 h) = 6 mph.

The speed of the current is half the difference of these:

  (14 mph -6 mph)/2 = 4 mph

_____

The current adds to the downstream speed and subtracts from the upstream speed, so the difference of those speeds is twice the current's speed.

Answer:

x=1

y=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+y=0  ->    y= -4x

2(-4x)+x=-7

-8x+  x=-7

-7x=-7

x=-7/-7=1

y=-4 . 1 = -4

A principle of $20,000 is invested at $6.25 and earns $10,000 simple interest how many years has the money been invested
slava [35]

Answer:

The money was invested for 8 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a principal of $ 20,000 is invested at 6.25% and earns $ 10,000 simple interest, to determine how many years has the money been invested, the following calculation has to be performed:

(20,000 x 0.0625) x X = 10,000

1,250X = 10,000

X = 10,000 / 1,250

X = 8

Thus, the money was invested for 8 years.

What is the probability of rolling an even number or a perfect square using a 20-sided die?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

C) 12/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Between 1 and 20, 10 numbers are even, 4 numbers are perfect squares (1, 4, 9, and 16), and 2 numbers are both even and perfect squares (4 and 16).

So the probability is:

(10 + 4 − 2) / 20 = 12/20.

Solve using the elimination method<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4x%2B5y%3D4%5C%5C8x%2B10y%3D8" id="TexFormula1" title="4x+5y
EastWind [94]

Answer:

y = all real numbers

x = all real numbers

In set notation/interval notation;

y∈(-∞,∞)

x∈(-∞,∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Background information

The process of elimination involves manipulating an equation such that when the equations in the system are added, one variable is eliminated. Then one can solve for the other variable, finally, one substitutes the answer back in to find the eliminated variable. Therefore solving the system of equations.

2. The given information

Given the system;

(1)    4x + 5y = 4

(2)    8x + 10y = 8

3. Solving

Multiply the first equation by (-2)

4x + 5x = 4

*-2           *-2

-8x - 10x = -8

Add the first and second equations.

   -8x - 10y = -8

+ ( 8x + 10y = 8 )

_____________

0

This means that y can be any real number, and hence x can be any real number.
