Yes there is an error in this statement.
because x^2 = 25
so x = 5...this is one condition
Another condition is x = -5
(-5)^2 = 25 (this is also true)
Answer:
the distance from home to hardware store = (3030/60) * 88= 4444miles
time to travel back at a speed of 24mph = 4444miles /24mph = 11110 minutes
Answer: 3 miles per hour
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Use the formula "distance (d) = rate (r) x time (t)" to create a system of equations.
Let "r" represent the rate they are rowing
Let "c" represent the current
time rate distance <u>EQUATION</u>
Downstream: 4 hours r + c 40 miles 4(r + c) = 40
Upstream: 10 hours r - c 40 miles 10(r - c) = 40
Distribute, then eliminate r to solve for c:
Down: 4r + 4c = 40 → 5(4r + 4c = 40) → 20r + 20c = 200
Up: 10r - 10c = 40 → -2(10r - 10c = 40) → <u>-20r + 20c</u> =<u> -80</u>
40c = 120
<u> ÷40 </u> <u>÷40 </u>
c = 3
Negative multiplied by a positive is a negative
