Answer:

4x - 3y = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3x - 1/2y = 6

Multiply each side by 6 to get rid of the fractions

6* (2/3x - 1/2y) = 6*6

Distribute the 6

12/3 x - 6/2y = 36

4x -3y = 36

A motorboat travels 432 kilometers on 6 hours going upstream and 384 km in 4 hours going downstream. What is the rate of the boa

antiseptic1488 [7]

Going upstream: 432 km / 6 hours = 72 km/h
Going downstream: 384 km / 4 hours = 96 km/h
Going upstream against the current means that the effective speed is:
r_boat - r_current = 72
Meanwhile, going downstream with the current means;
r_boat + r_current = 96
Adding both equations (to cancel out r_current) gives:
2r_boat = 72 + 96
r_boat = 84 km/h
Substituting back into one of the original equations: r_current = 12 km/h.

Consider functions f and g.1 + 12f(1) = 12 + 4. – 12for * # 2 and 7 -64.2 – 16. + 1641 +48for a # -12 Which expression is equal

Given the following functions below,

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=\frac{x+12}{x^2+4x-12}\text{ and} \\ g(x)=\frac{4x^2-16x+16}{4x+48} \end{gathered}$

Factorising the denominators of both functions,

Factorising the denominator of f(x),

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=\frac{x+12}{x^2+4x-12}=\frac{x+12}{x^2+6x-2x-12}=\frac{x+12}{x(x+6)-2(x+6)}=\frac{x+12}{(x-2)(x+6)} \\ f(x)=\frac{x+12}{(x-2)(x+6)} \end{gathered}$

Factorising the denominator of g(x),

$\begin{gathered} g(x)=\frac{4x^2-16x+16}{4x+48}=\frac{4(x^2-4x+4)}{4(x+12)} \\ \text{Cancel out 4 from both numerator and denominator} \\ g(x)=\frac{x^2-4x+4}{x+12}=\frac{x^2-2x-2x+4}{x+12}=\frac{x(x-2)-2(x-2)}{x+12}=\frac{(x-2)^2}{x+12} \\ g(x)=\frac{(x-2)^2}{x+12} \end{gathered}$

Multiplying both functions,
