Let the speed of the boat be x
so going against the current the speed is x-7
going with the current the speed is x+7

let the distance be d
time = distance / speed
time to go against the current = d/(x-7)
time to go with the current = d/(x+7)

time going against the current is 3 times going <span>with the current
</span>
d/(x-7) = 3d/(x+7)     ⇒⇒⇒ divide by d 
1/(x-7) = 3/(x+7) 
x+7 = 3(x-7) 
x+7 = 3x - 21
2x = 28
x = 14

So, the speed of the boat in still water is = 14 mph

What rule would you allow to test weather (x,y) is on line l
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a point (x, y) lies on a straight line, coordinates of the point will satisfy the equation.

Slope of a line passing through two points C(4, 5) and D(8, 10),

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m = \frac{10-5}{8-4}

m = \frac{5}{4}

Equation of the line passing through C(4, 5) and slope m = \frac{5}{4}

y - y' = m(x - x')

y - 5 = \frac{5}{4}(x-4)

y = \frac{5}{4}x-5+5

y = \frac{5}{4}x

If point B(4, 0) lies on the line CD,

0 = \frac{5}{4}(4)

0 = 5

Which is not true.

Therefore, point B doesn't lie on line CD.

Every evening Jenna empties her pockets
rodikova [14]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

1 dime = 10

1 quarter=25

x=number of coins - dimes

y= number of coins - quarters

x (10)+y(25)=10.25

x+y=50

x= 50-y

x(10)+y(25)=1025

(50-y)(10)+25y =1025

500-10y+25y=1025

500+15y=1025

15y= 1025 - 500

15y=525

y=525/15

y=35

x= 50-35=15
