The chosen topic is not meant for use with this type of problem.
However, if you simplify it, your answer is:
x^2 − 2x − 35
Total time = upstream time + downstream time
he rowed the same distance both ways.
upstream time = D/4
downstream time = D/6
total time = D/4 + D/6 = 3D/12 + 2D/12 = 5D/12 = 3 hours
D = 3*12/5 = 36/5 or 7.2 miles
where D is the one-way distance. The total distance he rowed is 2*D = 72/5 or 14.4 miles
I believe that f(2) is 34.5
f(2) = 2(34) + 1
f(2) = 68 + 1
f(2) = 69
f = 69/2
f = 34.5
I AM NOT SURE
5x - 20 = 8x - 65
-20 = 3x - 65
3x = 45
x = 15
I’m sorry this isn’t an answer but what in the world are y’all learning what is this ?! i’m in high school & i don’t know this
