Answer:

x = -2   & x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 3x - 15 = 2x - 13 so you takeaway 2x and add 13 to the other side to get x^2 + x - 2 = 0

(x+2)(x-1) = 0 find factors of -2 that get you x

(x+2) = 0 so x = -2       (x-1) = 0  so x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 3x - 15 = 2x - 13

x² + x - 2 = 0

(x + 2)(x - 1) = 0

By zero product rule, (x + 2) = 0 or (x - 1) = 0.

Hence x = -2 or x = 1.

Answer: the speed of the current is 0.6 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the current.

James is kayaking. He can row 3 mph in still water. If he can travel 6 miles downstream. Assuming he went with the current, it means that his total speed while travelling downstream is (3 + x)

Time = distance/speed

Time taken to travel downstream is

6/(3 + x)

In the same amount of time, he can travel 4 miles upstream. Assuming he went against the current, it means that his total speed while travelling downstream is (3 - x). Time taken to travel upstream is

4/(3 - x)

Since the time is the same, then

6/(3 + x) = 4/(3 - x)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

6(3 - x) = 4(3 + x)

18 - 6x = 12 + 4x

4x + 6x = 18 - 12

10x = 6

x = 6/10

x = 0.6 mph
