Answer:

2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the speed of motorboat in still water and y mph be the speed of current.

A raft and a motorboat simultaneously leave from the same point and move down the river, then speeds down the river are:

        motorboat =  x + y mph

        raft = y mph

In two hours they will cover:

        motorboat = 2(x+y) miles

        raft = 2y miles

After 2 hours the motorboat turns around and starts moving towards the raft (against the current), so its speed is now x - y mph.

Let t be the time they move towards each other. In t hours, they cover

        motorboat = t(x - y) miles

        raft = ty miles

The distance from the starting point to the turning point is the same as the sum of the distances the raft covers and the motorboat covers after turning around, so

2(x+y)=2y+t(x-y)+ty \\ \\2x+2y=2y+tx-ty+ty\\ \\2x=tx\\ \\t=2\ hours

Solve -9g+11<-15g-6+7g.
MArishka [77]

Answer: g>17

Step-by-step explanation:

-9g+11

Move the g-terms to the left side. and the independent terms to the right side. Remember to change the sign if you move from one side to another.

-9g+15g-7g

-16g+15g

-g

Divide by -1 on both sides to make g positive. When it comes to dividing by negatives in inequalities, the inequality sign changes direction.

\frac{-g}{-1}

g>17
