Answer:

b = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

solve the second equation for 'y':

-3x + 1/2y = -3

add 3x to each side to get:

1/2y = 3x - 3

multiply all terms by 2 to eliminate the denominator to get:

y = 6x - 6

now compare '6x-6' with '6x-b'

you want both expressions to be equal because then there are an infinite number of solutions:

b = 6

Two boats on opposite banks of a river start moving towards each other. They first pass each other 1400 meters from one bank. Th

Nesterboy [21]

S1 = speed of boat 1

t1 = time to do 1400 meters (boat 1)

S1*t1 = 1400

S2 = speed of boat 2

1400 + S2*t1 = X

t2 = time to do X + 600 (boat 2)

S1*t2 = X + 600

S2*t2 = 2X - 600

S1 = 1400/t1

S2 = (X-1400)/t1

T = t2/t1

1400*T = X + 600

X*T - 1400*T = 2X - 600

X = 3600 meters

River is 3600 meters wide
