Let 'x' be the distance from THE far bank where 700 is the distance to the NEAR bank
boat one has travelled 700 (rate = 700/unit time) boat two has travelled x rate = x / unit time
boat one then travels x + 400 more and boat two travels 700 + (700+x -400) more when they meet
The time is the same rate x time = distance distance/rate = time equate the distances divided by the respective rates
(700 + x + 400)/700 = ( x + 700 + (700+x-400) )/x
1100x + x^2 = 1400x + 700000
x^2-300x -700000 = 0 quadratic formula yields x = 1000
One boat travels 700 the other 1000 whe they first meet.....width of river = 700+ 1000 = 1700 m
Us photo math , it show u even the steps of how was it solve
Answer:
The answer is, D. 20 inches
hope this helps :)
Answer - 11
I’m assuming you’re trying to find the line AB (basically the distance between point A and B). If that’s the case, since they both have the same x vale, subtract their y values. 14-3 gives you 11, which is the length of line AB
