Consider this option:
1. if to re-write the condition, it is given: total time t=8 hours; upstream=downstream=6 miles; V_boat=4 m/h., V_current=V=?
2. note, that total time=time_upstream+time_downstream, where time_upstream=6miles/(V_boat-V) and time_downstream=6miles/(V_boat+V). Using this it is possible to make up and solve the following equation:

answer: √10
P.S. the roots of the equation are √10 and (-√10), only positive values is needed for V.
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the secants is the same when set up as full length to external length.
Formula
MN/LN = QN/PN
Givens
LN = 22 + 14 = 36
MN = 14
PN = 32
QN = x
Solution
14/36 = x / (32) Multiply both sides by 32
14*32 / 36 = x Combine 14 and 32
448/36 = x Divide by 36 and switch
x = 12.4
Answers
PN (External) = 13 is the closest answer
Length LN = 36
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Distributive Property: a(b + c) = (a*b) + (a*c)
2x - 4(x - 3) = -8 + 5x - 8
2x + x * (-4) - 3*(-4) = -8 + 5x - 8
2x - 4x + 12 = -8 + 5x - 8
2x - 4x - 5x + 12 = -8 - 8
-7x + 12 = -16
-7x = -16 -12
-7x = -28
x = -28/-7
x = 4
Answer:
No.
Step-by-step explanation:
For polygon PQRST to be considered a scaled copy of polygon ABCDE, it means every segments of polygon ABCDE were increased proportionally by a scale factor.
The segments in polygon PQRST were not gotten using the same scale factor, hence, it is not a scaled copy of the original polygon, ABCDE.
Segment CD = 2 units, it corresponds to segment RS = 4 units. Scale factor = RS/CD = 4/2 = 2
Segment BC = 1 unit, it corresponds to segment QR = 1 unit. Scale factor = QR/BC = 1/1 = 1 units.
Varying scale factor shows polygon PQRST is not a scaled copy of polygon ABCDE.
