Answer:

  2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

For a kayak speed of k miles per hour in still water, the speed upstream is (k-2) and the speed downstream is (k+2). Over the distances given, the times are the same, so we can write ...

  10/(k-2) = 14/(k+2)

Multiplying by (k+2)(k-2) gives ...

  10(k+2) = 14(k -2)

  10k +20 = 14k -28 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  48 = 4k . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 28-10k

  12 = k

Then the time for 28 miles downstream is ...

  time = 28 / (12 +2) = 2 . . . . hours

It will take the person 2 hours to kayak 28 miles downstream.

Help with b please I don’t understand it

Answer:

This is a 25% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

percent change = (old - new)/old * 100 %

The new price is 15

The old price is 20

Since the new price is less than the old price, it is a decrease

percent change = (20-15)/20 * 100 %

                           = 5/20 * 100%

                            =.25 * 100%

                             = 25%

This is a 25% decrease

A new cruise ship line has just launched 3 new​ ships: the Pacific​ Paradise, the Caribbean​ Paradise, and the Mediterranean Par
topjm [15]
Let the number of deluxe that Pacific has be x
the number that Caribbean has will be (x+18)
the number that Mediterranean has will be (3x-25)
total b=number of deluxe in the 3 ships will be:
x+(x+18)+(3x-25)
5x-7=928
5x=928+7
x=935/5
x=187
Hence the Pacific has 187, Caribbean has 187+18=205, Mediterranean has (3*187-25)

If Sin 3x= Cos (x-60), find the value of x​
Kamila [148]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming 3x and x-60 are in degrees, you can use:

cos(a) = sin(a+90)

To rewrite the equation as:

sin(3x) = sin(x-60+90)

sin(3x) = sin(x+30)

3x = x+30

2x = 30

x = 15

But, solving 3x = x+30 which simplifies to x=15 is not the only solution to this equation, as you can see in below picture. Finding all solutions is a bit more work, but maybe that is not required in your case.

Solve for y: 15 = y – 7
mixer [17]

Some number y has 7 subtracted off to get 15. We have y-7 = 15. To isolate y, we have to undo the "subtract 7" operation that happens to y. We have to add 7 to both sides.

y-7 = 15

y-7+7 = 15+7

y = 22 is the answer
