Answer: 2mp
Step-by-step explanation: Let "b" represent the speed of the boat in still water
Let "c" represent the speed of the current
Let "t" represent time
Downstream(same direction) =(b+c)*t
Upstream(against current)=(b-c)*t
(b+c)*3=24
(b-c)*4=16
3b+3c=24....all sides can be divided by 3 =b+c=8
4b-4c=16.....all sides can be divided by 4 =b-c=4
Use Elimination method
b+c=8
b-c= 4 Subtracting
=====
2c=4
find c by dividing both sides by 2. c=2
if c=2, substitute to get b
b+2=8
-2=-2
======
b=6
Speed of boat in still water =6mph
rate of current=2mp
Answer:
7x65 is 455
Step-by-step explanation:
I need more info if this does not workout...
Alright, let's take an example. 1 is less than 2, so we can write it as 1<2. However, if we multiplied both sides by -1 without changing anything else, we get -1<-2, but -1 is greater than -2 because it is less negative, so the correct way of writing it would be -1>-2. Therefore, since a number that is less positive than another becomes less negative (and therefore higher) when both are multiplied by -1, we have to change the side of the inequality
So the equations are:
y= 3x + 3
y= x- 1
By the transitive property, we know x-1= 3x+3 (Transitive property means if a= b, and b= c, shouldn't a = c if they both equal b?)
so, x- 1= 3x + 3. Now we isolate x and solve:
+1 +1
x= 3x+ 4
-x -x
0 = 2x+ 4
-4 -4
-4 = 2x
/2 /2
x= -2
Now, you can plug that back in to find y:
y = x- 1
y= -2 -1
y= -3
Then plug them both in to make sure it is correct. :o)
