Answer:
Both boats will be 54 miles apart after 3 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that from a point on a river, two boats are driven in opposite directions, one at 7 miles per hour and the other at 11 miles per hour, to determine how many hours they will be 54 miles apart, the following calculation must be performed :
54 / (11 + 7) = X
54/18 = X
3 = X
Therefore, both boats will be 54 miles apart after 3 hours.

The cost (in dollars) of making b necklaces is

To find how much more it will cost to make b necklaces than b bracelets, we find the difference,




This is a polynomial in descending powers of b, hence it is in standard form;
Answer:
14,16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the first even number.
Let y be the 2nd even number.
Given, y - x = 2 (Since they are 2 consecutive even numbers.)
rearranging the equation: y = x+2 (equation 1)
Also given,
(equation 2)
Now we can substitute equation 1 into equation 2 to find x.

Given the smaller even number x, is 14, we will substitute x into equation1 to find y, the bigger even number.
y = 14+2
= 16
Therefore the 2 numbers are 14 and 16.
