Let 'x' be the distance from THE far bank where 700 is the distance to the NEAR bank
boat one has travelled 700 (rate = 700/unit time) boat two has travelled x rate = x / unit time
boat one then travels x + 400 more and boat two travels 700 + (700+x -400) more when they meet
The time is the same rate x time = distance distance/rate = time equate the distances divided by the respective rates
(700 + x + 400)/700 = ( x + 700 + (700+x-400) )/x
1100x + x^2 = 1400x + 700000
x^2-300x -700000 = 0 quadratic formula yields x = 1000
One boat travels 700 the other 1000 whe they first meet.....width of river = 700+ 1000 = 1700 m
Answer:
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-coordinate of all points on the graph is 3.
The equation is y = 3
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
2y=10x
Divide both sides by 2.
y=5x
Now substitute this into the second equation.
Answer:
The number is - ½
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the missing number be x
2x + 4 = 3
2x = 3 - 4
2x = - 1
x = - ½
