Let the speed of the boat be x
so going against the current the speed is x-7
going with the current the speed is x+7
let the distance be d
time = distance / speed
time to go against the current = d/(x-7)
time to go with the current = d/(x+7)
time going against the current is 3 times going <span>with the current
</span>
d/(x-7) = 3d/(x+7)
⇒⇒⇒ divide by d
1/(x-7)
= 3/(x+7)
x+7
= 3(x-7)
x+7 = 3x - 21
2x = 28
x = 14
So, the speed of the boat in still water is = 14 mph
6 1/10 because 3 3/5 equals 3 6/10 and 2 1/2 equals 2 5/10. 3 6/10 plus 2 5/10=6 1/10
Answer:
why in kilometers? 87.3 km/h
Answer:
The answer is: m = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope m = (y - y1)/(x - x1]
Replace the variables with the points given:
m = (2 - 5)/(1 - 3)
m = -3/-2
m = 3/2
