lukranit [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations are:

5x - 3y = -11     Eqn 1

2x - 6y = -14     Eqn 2

We have to find the value of y so we will eliminate x.

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 2

2(5x-3y=-11)

10x-6y=-22     Eqn 3

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 5

5(2x-6y=-14)

10x-30y=-70     Eqn 4

Subtracting Eqn 4 from Eqn 3

(10x-6y)-(10x-30y)= -22-(-70)

10x-6y-10x+30y = -22 + 70

24y = 48

\frac{24y}{24}=\frac{48}{24}\\y=2

Therefore,

Option D is the correct answer.

A boat travels 12 km upstream and back in 1 hour 45 minutes. If the speed of the current is 3 km/h throughout, find the speed of
Elza [17]

Answer:

14.3 km/h   to 3 significant figures

Step-by-step explanation:

Let time travelling upstream be t1 hours and downstream = t2 hours.

t1 + t2 = 1.75..........................(1)

Let v  be the speed of the boat in still water.

12 / t1 = v - 3.........................(2)

12 /  t2 = v + 3........................(3)

From (1) and (3) , substituting for t2:-

12 / (1.75 - t1) = v + 3 ..................(4)

Subtract:-   (2) - (4):-

12 / t1 - 12 / (1.75 - t1) = -6

12(1 .75 - t1) - 12t1 = -6t1(1.75 -  t1)

21 - 12t1 - 12t1 = -10.5t1 + 6t^2

6t1^2 + 13.5t1 - 21 = 0

Solving this gives t1 = 1.058 hours

Therefore the speed in still water (v)  = 12/1.058 + 3 = 14.3 to 3 sig figs
