Speed, S = Distance (d) / Time (t) => S= d/t => t= d/S
Let the speed of boat in still water be x mph
Resulting speed upstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 30 miles
Resulting speed downstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 50 miles
Time taken in both distances is equal.
Therefore,
30/(x-4) = 50/(x+4) => 30(x+4) = 50(x-4) => 30x+120 = 50x-200 => 120+200 = (50-30)x => 20x = 320 => x=320/20 = 16 mph
The speed of boat in still water is 16 mph.
Answer:
x = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x + 10 +4x=70
-10 -10
-2x + 4x = 60
2x = 60
/2 /2
x = 30
Answer might be 9 due to my algebra teacher
Answer:
It was a rainy day
, but Joan and I had planned a trip. Joan wanted to go to the beach for a swim. I wasn't sure if we should go.
"I think we should wait a little longer
, at least until the rain shows some signs of slowing down," I suggested.
"We can't swim without getting wet anyway," replied Joan, questioning my choice of swimsuit
, the one my mom had bought at a secondhand store.

Answer:
1.75*10 to the power of 5
Step-by-step explanation:
start by moving the decimal over until only one number is in front of the decimal. this is because in scientific notation a number can't be higher than 9.
check how many places you move the decimal over (5). 1.75000 needs to be simplified (since that's the point of scientific notation) and can be simplified to 1.75.
the answer is 1.75 multiplied by ten to the power of digits the decimal moved (5) so the answer is 1.75*10 to the power of 5
