First, we determine the speed of the ferry by dividing the distance by the time it took to cover that certain distance.
speed = (1/6) / (3/7)
speed = 7/18
Then, the distance it will travel for an hour is calculated through the procedure below.
distance = (7/18hour) x (1 hour)
distance = 7/18
Therefore, after an hour, the ferry will be able to travel 7/18 of the distance between two ports.
B) y = -2x
when x = a
y = -2a
when x= 2a
y = -2(2a) = -4a
Answer:
Alvin: 49
Elga: 40
Step-by-step explanation:
- The equation is 89 = x + (x-9).
- Remove the parenthesis and combine the like terms. 89 = 2x - 9
- Add 9 on both sides. 98 = 2x
- Divide by 2 on both sides. x = 49
- 49 is the age of Alvin. (49-9) 40 is the age of Elga.
