Let the speed of the current equal c
and the speed of the boat in still water equal b.

b + c = 1.5 (b - c)
b + c = 1.5b - 1.5c
0.5b = 2.5c
b = 5c

The speed of the current is 1.5 mph so
b = 5 * 1.5 = 7.5 mph

Marsha Waite borrows $7,000 and agrees to pay it back in 2 years if the simple interest rate is 15%
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Marsha must pay in 2 years \$9,100

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

A=P(1+rt)

where

A  is the amount of money to pay

P is amount of money borrowed  

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

t=2\ years\\ P=\$7,000\\ A=?\\r=15\%=15/100=0.15

substitute in the formula above

A=7,000(1+0.15*2)

A=7,000(1+0.30)

A=7,000(1.30)

A=\$9,100

therefore

Marsha must pay in 2 years \$9,100

The expression 2 + 3(x + 3) + x is simplified correctly in the correct order. Which of these steps has an incorrect justificatio
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

c. is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + 3(x + 3) + x

<em>use the Distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>

= 2 + 3x + 9 + x     <em>a. is correct</em>

<em>use the Commutative property of addition: a + b = b + a</em>

= 2 + 9 + 3x + x     <em>addition</em>

= (2 + 9) + 3x + x

= 11 + 3x + x        <em>b. is correct</em>

<em>use the </em><em>Distributive property</em><em> a(b + c) = ab + ac</em><em> </em>

<em>not Associative property (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)</em>

= 11 + (3 + 1)x      <em>c. is incorrect</em>

= 11 + 4x

<em>use the Commutative property of addition: a + b = b + a</em>

= 4x + 11
