Answer:
Let the current speed be "c";
Then the boat speed in still wate is "5c":
-----------------------
Upstream speed:
distance = 12 miles ; rate = 5c-c = 4c mph ; time = 12/4c = 3/c hrs
---------------------------
Downstream speed:
distance = 12 miles ; rate = 5c+c = 6c mph ; time = 12/6c = 2/c hrs
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation:
time + time = 2 1/2 hrs
3/c + 2/c = 5/2
Multiply thru by 2c to get:
6 + 4 = 5c
c = 2 mph (speed of the current)
5c = 10 mph (speed of the boat in still water)
Answer:
Answer:
x=−24
Step-by-step explanation:
the only variable is x and -24 is the value of this variable
Divide the pages read by the portion read:
60/ 3/4 = 60 x 4/3 = 240/3 = 80
The book has 80 pages.
Answer:
y=-6x+7 (Negative Slope)
Step-by-step explanation:
This equation is in slope intercept form.
7= y-intercept
-6= slope
This means that when you plot this on a graph, your slope will be negative.
