PLEASE HELP A boat travels downstream 10 miles and returns to the starting point in 2

Mathematics
1 answer:
IceJOKER [234]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A. 20.81 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

x = speed of the boat in still water.

one part of the trip is 10 miles downstream, where the speed of the boat and the speed of the current add together.

and the other part of the trip is the trip back the 10 miles upstream, where the speed of the current works against the speed of the boat :

10/(x + 15) + 10/(x - 15) = 2

10 + 10×(x+15)/(x-15) = 2×(x+15)

10×(x-15) + 10×(x+15) = 2×(x+15)×(x-15)

20x = 2×(x² - 225)

10x = x² - 225

0 = x² - 10x - 225

solution of a quadratic equation

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)

a = 1

b = -10

c = - 225

(10 ± sqrt(100 - 4×1×-225)) / 2 =

= (10 ± sqrt (100 + 900)) / 2 = (10 ± sqrt(1000)) / 2 =

= (10 ± 31.62) / 2

x1 = 41.62 / 2 = 20.81 mph

x2 is negative and did not make any sense.

If -3x-8=16 what is the value of -2(x-7)
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

-3x-8=16

-3x = 16+8

-3x = 24

x = 24/-3

x = -8

= -2(x-7)

= -2(-8-7)

= 30

Hope this helps you. Do mark me as brainliest.

kevin has $26 wants to rent bicycle.The bicycle rents for $6.25per hour. How many hours can kevin ride without owing more money
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

I got 4 hours and 16 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

I divided the amount of money he has ($26) to the amount it takes to rent for one hour ($6.25). To make it more simple you could just say 4 hours worth of rent.

an ordered pair where the x and y coordinate are the same lies in the 1st or 3rd quadrant. true, sometimes true or not true?. ex
Zarrin [17]

The quadrants are as follows:

The 1st quadrant has the points which have both x and y positive and the 3rd quadrant has the points which have both x and y negative. If the ordered pair and the same x and y value, if ons is positive, the other also is, and the same for negative.

So, at first we see that there are point where the x and y are the same and that are in the 1st or 3rd quadrant.

However, there is one special case:

When x and y are 0, that is, the ordered pair is (0, 0).

Since this point is the origin, it doesn't lie on any of the quadrants.

Thus, this affirmative is sometimes true. Every point but (0, 0) that have same x and y values are in the 1st or 3rd quadrant except for (0, 0).
