A boat takes 4 hours to go 20 miles upstream. It can go 32 miles downstream in the same time. Find the rate of the current and t

he rate of the boat in still water.​ (Hint: Because the current pushes the boat when it is going​ downstream, the rate of the boat downstream is the sum of the rate of the boat and the rate of the current. The current slows down the boat when it is going​ upstream, so the rate of the boat upstream is the difference of the rate of the boat and the rate of the​ current.)

Let the boat speed in still water be b.
Let the current speed be c.
The speed going upstream is 20/4 = 5 mph.
The speed going downstream is 32/4 = 8 mph.
b - c = 5 ........(1)
b + c = 8 .......(2)
Adding equations (1) and (2) we get:
2b = 13
b = 13/2 = 6.5
Plugging in the value for b into equation (1) we find c = 1.5.
The boat speed in still water is 6.5 mph and the current speed is 1.5 mph.

Answer:

The 3 lines are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw the lines with the slope of 1/3 choose any point and mark it, then go up 1 square and right 3 squares and mark that point. Draw a line connecting those 2 points. Now choose another point and do the same thing. Then once more. Lines with the same slope are parallel.

Hope this helped! Please mark Brainliest.

A 100-point test has x questions worth 2 points apiece and y questions worth 4 points apiece. Write an equation in Standard Form
Fofino [41]

Answer:

<h3>2x+2y = 100</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of points in the test = 100points

If the test has x questions worth 2 points apiece, then the total number of points for x questions with 2 points each will be 2 * x i.e 2x........  1

Also, if y questions worth 4 points apiece then the total number of points for y questions with 4 points each will be 4 * x i.e 4x ....... 2

Total points = eqn 1 + eqn 2

100 = 2x+ 2y

Rearrange

2x+2y = 100

Hence an equation in Standard Form that would model this situation is 2x+2y = 100
