Answer:

Speed of boat in still water=8km/hr

Speed of stream=3km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of boat in still water=x km/hr

Speed of stream=y km/hr

Speed of upstream=x-y km/hr

Speed of downstream=x+y km/hr

Let 1/(x-y)=a and 1/(x+y)=b

Time to go 25km up and 44 down=9

25a+44b=9----->(1)

Time to go 15km up and 22km down=5

15a+22b=5------>(2)

(2) × 2=> 30a+44b=10------>(3)

(3)-(1)=>5a=1

a=1/5

1/(x-y)=1/5

x-y=5---->(4)

Putting a=1/5 in (1),

5+44b=9

44b=4

b=1/11

1/(x+y)=1/11

x+y=11---->(5)

(4)+(5)=>2x=16

x=8

y=3

Speed of boat in still water=8km/hr

Speed of stream=3km/hr

Joseph has started completing the square on the equation 3x2 - 7x + 12 = 0. He has worked to the point where he has the expressi
tresset_1 [31]
3x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0 ....subtract 12 from both sides
3x^2 - 7x = -12 ....divide both sides by 3 to get x^2 by itself
x^2 - 7/3x = -4

His work is not accurate because he divided the second term by 4 instead of 3.

Hi there! :)

a) (ii) The two angles are vertical angles, so they are congruent.

b)(i) y = 71°

  (ii) The two angles are alternate interior angles, so they are congruent.

c) z = 44°

(ii) m∠x = 65° because the two angles are vertical angles, so they are congruent.

b) (i)

∠y is an alternate interior angle, therefore:

m∠y = 71°

c) Use the sum of interior angles of a triangle to determine the measure of angle z:

180 = 65 + 71 + z

180 = 136 + z

180 - 136 = z

z = 44°.
