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

The owner of a luxury motor yacht that sails among the 4000 Greek islands charges $540 per person per day if exactly 20 people s
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Charges up to 20 passengers = $540 per person per day

Total charges = 540 × 20 = $10800

If x passengers above 20 sign up for the cruise then total number of passengers = (20 + x)

Total revenue = $(20+x)

But each fare is reduced by $7 for additional passenger above 20 then revenue generated R(x) = 540(20+x) - 7x

R(x) = 10800 + 540x - 7x

R(x) = 10800 + 533x

a). Revenue per day realized R = 10800 + 533x

b). R(48) = 10800 + 48×533

              = $36,384

C). R(78) = 10800 + 78×543

              = $53,154

Here are the first 4 terms in the sequences
balu736 [363]

A series of numbers called an arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence has a constant difference between the terms.

An arithmetic progression with a common difference of 2 is found, for instance, in the numbers 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15. Given that each term has a common difference, this is an arithmetic sequence.

In this instance, the result is obtained by adding 6 6 to the prior term in the sequence.

What is the arithmetic progression formula?

a {n}=a {1}+(n-1) The nth term in the series is d a n.

The first term in the sequence is a 1.

d is the common distinction between the terms.
