Answer:

Speed of the river = \frac{4}{3} km per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of the boat in still water = 4 km per hour

Let the speed of the river = v km per hour

Speed of the boat upstream = (4 - v) km per hour

Time taken to cover 6 km = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}

                                           = \frac{6}{4-v} hours

Speed of the boat downstream = (4 + v) km per hour

Time taken to cover 12 km = \frac{12}{4+v} hours

Since, time taken by the boat in both the cases is same,

\frac{6}{4-v}= \frac{12}{4+v}

6(4 + v) = 12(4 - v)

24 + 6v = 48 - 12v

12v + 6v = 48 - 24

18v = 24

v = \frac{24}{18}

v = \frac{4}{3} km per hour

21÷xy=? With x=-3 y=2​
Vsevolod [243]
Plug in the numbers so it will turn out as 21. Divided by 3(2) . You know that if 2 numbers are close by each other than you are going to multiply so 3 times 2 = 6 , then you do 21 divided by 6 = 3.5

The answer = 3.5

Write down the equation of a line that is parallel to the x-axis and passes through (-2, 5).​
Rudiy27

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is parallel to the x-axis, regardless of the value of x, the value of y must remain at y = 5.  Therefore, x can be any number, (x,5), including -2.
