4.5(4-x) + 36 = 202 - 2.5(3x + 28)
Distributive property
18 - 4.5x + 36 = 202 - 7.5x - 70
Combine like terms
-4.5x + 54 = -7.5x + 132
Add 7.5x to both sides
3x = 78
Divide both sides by 3
x = 26

Answer:
18.87 km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
First boat is heading North with a speed of 10 km/hr.
Second boat is heading West with a speed of 16 km/hr.
Time for which they move = 2.5 hours
To find:
The speed at which the distance is increasing between the two boats.
Solution:
Let the situation be represented by the attached diagram.
Their initial position is represented by point O from where they move towards point A and point B respectively.



We can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance AB.
AB is the hypotenuse of the right angled
.
According to Pythagorean theorem:

The speed at which distance is increasing between the two boats is given as:
