So,
1/4(3c + 5) + -1/2(2c + 3) = 1/2
First, we distribute to get rid of the parentheses. (PEMDAS)
3/4c + 1 1/4 - c - 1 1/2 = 1/2
Now, we collect like terms.
-1/4c - 1/4 = 1/2
Add 1/4 to both sides.
-1/4c = 3/4
Now, multiply by the reciprocal (-4/1).
c = -3
Check your answer.
1/4(3[-3] + 5) + -1/2(2[-3] + 3) = 1/2
1/4(-9 + 5) + -1/2(-6 + 3) = 1/2
-2 1/4 + 1 1/4 + 3 - 1 1/2 = 1/2
-1 + 1 1/12 = 1/2
1/2 = 1/2
<span>Ok can't count properly, lets try again one package has 18,
how many ways?
18, 18

Answer:
22 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Against the current, the boat's rate of travel is ...
(120 mi)/(6 h) = 20 mi/h
With the current, the boat's rate of travel is ...
(120 mi)/(5 h) = 24 mi/h
___
The sum of boat speed (b) and current speed (c) is 24 mph. The difference is 20 mph. This lets us write the equations ...
b + c = 24
b - c = 20
Adding these two equations together, we get ...
2b + 0c = 44
b = 22 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
The rate of the boat in still water is 22 miles per hour.
