Answer:

1.5 km/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

d is the David's speed in still water

c is the speed of the current

Going with the current, he travels d+c km per hour.

Going against the current, he travels d-c km per hour.

d+c = (20 km)/(2.5 hours) = 8 km/hour

d-c = (20 km)/(4 hours) = 5 km/hour

Add the equations to eliminate the c terms

d+c = 8

d-c = 5

----------

2d = 13

d = 6.5 km/hour

c = 8-d = 1.5 km/hour

Answer:

√7 units, √98 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2. So 9+b^2=16. So b^2=7. So b=√7

a^2+b^2=c^2. SO 49+49=c^2. So 98=c^2. So c=√98.

(y-5)/2=(y+6)/3 solve
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The solution of the given equation represented in the task content can be determined by first evaluating the LCM and hence is; y= 27.

<h3>What is the solution of the equation as given in the task?</h3>

The given equation is; (y-5)/2=(y+6)/3.

Hence, by multiplying the equation by 6, we have;

3(y-5) = 2(y+6)

3y -15 = 2y +12

y = 27.

Hence, it follows that the value of y which is a solution to the equation is; y = 27.
