Answer:

  • 24 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The speed of the boat  in the lake = x
  • The speed of the current = 3 km/h

<u>Required equation:</u>

  • 54 / (x + 3) + 42 / (x - 3) = 96/x
  • 9x(x - 3) + 7x(x + 3) = 16(x + 3)(x - 3)
  • 9x² - 27x + 7x² + 21x = 16x² - 144
  • 6x = 144
  • x = 144/6
  • x = 24 km/h

Answer:

-12 = 3x - 4y

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points on the graph are (-4, 0) and (0, 3).  Moving from the first point to the second, we see x (the 'run') increase by 4 and y (the 'rise') increase by 3.  Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 3/4.

Using the point slope form, we get:

y - 3 = (3/4)(x - 0), or

4y - 12 = 3x, or

-12 = 3x - 4y (which is in Standard Form).
