Answer:

The answer is explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a word problem, therefore to solve it the statement have to be writing in form of an equation and then solved.

Let the number of fishes caught by Bryan's son be x fishes. Since Bryan caught as many fish as his son, Bryan caught x fishes

Let the number of fishes caught by Elton's son be y fishes. Since Elton caught three times as many fish as his son, Bryan caught 3y fishes

All together, they caught 25 fish

Therefore it can be represented by the equation:

x + x + y + 3y = 25

2x + 4y = 25

2x = 25 - 4y

x = (25 - 4y)/2

The number of fish caught by Bryan is half of the difference between the total fish caught and four times the number of fish caught by Elton son

a boat takes 8 hours to go 6 miles upstream and come back to the starting point. if the speed of the boat is 4 miles per hour in
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Consider this option:
1. if to re-write the condition, it is given: total time t=8 hours; upstream=downstream=6 miles; V_boat=4 m/h., V_current=V=?
2. note, that total time=time_upstream+time_downstream, where time_upstream=6miles/(V_boat-V) and time_downstream=6miles/(V_boat+V). Using this it is possible to make up and solve the following equation:
\frac{6}{4+V} + \frac{6}{4-V} =8; \ =\ \textgreater \  \  \frac{V^2-10}{16-V^2}=0; \ =\ \textgreater \  \ V=\sqrt{10} \  \frac{miles}{hour}

answer: √10

P.S. the roots of the equation are √10 and (-√10), only positive values is needed for V.

Which table represents a linear function?
mart [117]
Well, a linear function is proportional, a straight line (on a graph). And the numbers must not have the same answer. For instance, if the X input is 5, and the Y output is 7. And then another X input is 5, and the Y output is 8, that's non-linear.

So, the Answer would be the third graph. This is because the X values are steadily increasing, and so are the Y values. 

For the X and Y values, for each time X increases by 1, Y increases by -8. This is, linear because both sides are constantly and evenly increasing.

What is the rate of A, what is the rate of B, which equation has a greater rate?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer: Rate of A: 5/6

Rate of B: 3/5

A has a higher rate of change

Step-by-step explanation: You calculate slope/rate of change by determining the rise over the run. The rate of change in A is 5/6x, this is bigger than the slope of B.
