Answer:

s = 18 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

At downstream, time is; t = 11/(s+ 4)

At upstream, time is; t = 7/(s - 4)

Since they both are passed in the same time, then ;

11/(s+ 4) = 7/(s - 4)

Cross Multiply to get;

11(s - 4) = 7(s + 4)

11s - 44 = 7s + 28

11s - 7s = 44 + 28

4s = 72

s = 72/4

s = 18

Which of the following correctly completes the square for the equation
rjkz [21]

Answer:

A. (x + 2)^2 = 31.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 4x = 27

x^2 + 4x - 27 = 0

A. (x + 2)^2 = 31

x^2 + 4x + 4 - 31 = 0

x^2 + 4x - 27 = 0

This option corresponds to the given equation, so it is correct.

B. (x + 2)^2 = 43

x^2 + 4x + 4 - 43 = 0

x^2 + 4x - 39 = 0

This does not correspond to the equation.

C. (x + 4)^2 = 31

x^2 + 8x + 16 - 31 = 0

x^2 + 8x - 15 = 0

This does not correspond to the equation.

D. (x+4)^2 = 43

x^2 + 8x + 16 - 43 = 0

x^2 + 8x - 27 = 0

This does not correspond to the equation.

So, your answer is A. (x + 2)^2 = 31.
