We calculate both velocities:
upstream 8 miles in 2 hours = 4 miles / hour
downstream 8 miles in 1 hour = 8 miles / hour

ps -stream speed = 4 mph
ps + stream speed = 8 mph
Adding both equations
2 ps = 12 mph
paddling speed = 6 mph
stream speed = 2 mph

Solve for x: x + 15 = 45 Question 1 options: 30 60 -60 -30
brilliants [131]

<u><em>Answer: A. 30. x=30/ 30=x *The answer should be the positive sign.*</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

a-c=b-c

addition property of equality is adding the same number to both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

a+c=b+c

subtract by 15 both sides of an equation.

x+15-15=45-15

simplify.

45-15=30

30+15=45

45-30=15

x=30 and 30=x

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
