Answer:
8y+6y=288
Step-by-step explanation:
8y+6y= 12y
12y=288
12y divide by 12 = 288 divided by 12 =
y=24

Answer:
x = 23.1
Step-by-step explanation:
The parallel lines make the left segments proportional to the right segments. This lets us write the equation ...
x/14 = 33/20
Multiplying by 14, we get ...
x = 14(33/20) = 7(33/10) = 23.1
R = speed in still water
r + c = speed with current
r - c = speed against current
3.5(r + c) = 70
r + c = 20
c = 20 - r
4(r + c) = distance from pier to pier
5(r - c) = distance from pier to pier
4(r + c) = 5(r - c)
4(r + 20 - r) = 5(r - 20 + r)
80 = 10r - 100
180 = 10r
18 = r
The speed in still water is 18 km/hour
