Answer:

The speed of the boat is 24 kilometers per hour, and the speed of the stream is 2 kilometers per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a riverboat travels 52 km downstream in 2 hours, and it travels 66 km upstream in 3 hours, the following calculations must be performed to find the speed of the boat and the speed of the stream:

Downstream = 52/2 = 26

Upstream = 66/3 = 22

Stream = 4/2 = 2

Therefore, the speed of the boat is 24 kilometers per hour, and the speed of the stream is 2 kilometers per hour.

Tom is 4 more than twice Andrews age. Sara is 8 less than 5 times Andrews age. If Tom and Sara are twins, how old is Andrew? Sho
horsena [70]
T = 4 + 2A
S = 5A - 8
T = S
Since T and S are equal, set them against each other
2A + 4 = 5A - 8
Subtract 2A from each side, and add 8 to each side
12 = 3A
Divide each side by 3
A = 4
So Andrew is 4 years old
If Andrew is 4, then Tom is twice that plus 4, or 12. Sarah is 5 times 4 less 8, or 12.

GarryVolchara [31]
If the glasses were origanum 40, and were on sale for 26,we minus them from eachother to find out how much money was saved. So 40-26= 14, if $14 was saved we put 14 over the original price and times it buy 100 14/40x100= 35% So 35% was saved. 100-35= 65. Therefore 65% of the original price was paid and 35% was saved.

Please help Determine whether y varies directly with x. If so, find the constant of variation k and write the equation.
dsp73
The linear equation:
y = k x + b
We will use first two values and solve the system of equations:
11 = k * 7 + b   / *(-1)
13 = k * 8 + b
 ---------------------
 -11 = - k * 7 - b
  13 =   k * 8 + b
----------------------
   2 = k       
   13 = 16 + b 
    b = 13 - 16 = -3
   y = 2 x - 3 ( y varies directly with x )
