Answer:
2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
time = distance / speed
Let c represent the rate of the current. Then the upstream rate of the boat relative to the shore is (5c -c) = 4c, and the <em>upstream time</em> is ...
... 12/(4c) = 3/c.
Likewise, the downstream rate is (5c +c) = 6c, and the <em>downstream time</em> is ...
... 12/(6c) = 2/c.
The <em>total time</em> is the sum of upstream and downstream times:
... 3/c +2/c = 2.5
... 5/c = 2.5 . . . . . . combine terms
... 5/2.5 = c = 2 . . . multiply by c/2.5
recalling that d = rt, distance = rate * time.
we know Hector is going at 12 mph, and he has already covered 18 miles, how long has he been biking already?
so Hector has been biking for those 18 miles for 3/2 of an hour, namely and hour and a half already.
then Wanda kicks in, rolling like a lightning at 16mph.
let's say the "meet" at the same distance "d" at "t" hours after Wanda entered, so that means that Wanda has been traveling for "t" hours, but Hector has been traveling for "t + (3/2)" because he had been biking before Wanda.
the distance both have travelled is the same "d" miles, reason why they "meet", same distance.

Answer:
<h3>Hence required integers are 11 and 13</h3>
Let x an odd positive integer
Then, according to question
x^2 +(x+2)^2=290
2x^2 +4x−286=0
x^2 +2x−143=0
x ^2+13x−11x−143=0
(x+13)(x−11)=0
x=11 as x is positive
Hence required integers are 11 and 13

Hope it is helpful....
$10 because 2 and 3 add together and subtract 15 equals 10
