So first you put this as a proportion. The proportion is.. (I’ll send you a pic)
D=vt, distance is equal to velocity times time.
4v+3(v+3)=149 perform indicated multiplication
4v+3v+9=149 combine like terms on left side
7v+9=149 subtract 9 from both sides
7v=140 divide both sides by 7
v=20
So the ship traveled at a speed of 20 mph when heading east.
Step-by-step explanation:
31/2×5/23 (use reciprocal)
31×5=155
155÷46=3.369565217
155/46
3 and 17/46
