First you subtract 8 from 26, which is 18. Then you divide 18 by 6, which is 3. x equals 3.

To solve for x you would first need to isolate x. Subtract 8 from 26 and then divide by six.
Your answer would then be 3

Answer:

Sailing end at 3:15 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

Connor did archery and sailing before dinner (in that order).

He started at 12:00 PM

We know that:

In archery, Connor spent 1 hour and 15 minutes

In sailing, Connor spent 2 hours.

The total time spent is:

1 hour + 15 minutes + 2 hours

3 hours + 15 minutes.

Then sailing end 3 hours and 15 minutes after 12:00 pm = 0:00 am, this is:

3:15 AM

Sailing end at 3:15 AM

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The speed of the river's current is 4.5 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A fisherman traveled in a boat from point N upstream.

After having traveled 6 km, he stopped rowing and 2 hour 40 min after first leaving N, he was brought back to N by the current.

Knowing that the speed of the boat in still water is 9 km/hour

To find : The speed of the river’s current.

Solution :

Let the speed of current = x km/h

Speed of boat = 9 km/h

Thus, the speed in upstream = (9 - x) km/h

Also, the speed in downstream = x km/h (because the boat is stationary in downstream)

Total distance = 6 km ( from N to the point he reached )

Total time = 2 hours 40 minutes

$\text{2 hours 40 minutes}=2\frac{40}{60}=2 \frac{2}{3} \\\\\text{2 hours 40 minutes}=\frac{8}{3} \text{ hours}$

We know, $\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

According to the question,

$\frac{6}{9-x}+\frac{6}{x}=\frac{8}{3}$

Taking LCM and 6 common

$6[\frac{x+9-x}{(9-x)x}]=\frac{8}{3}$

Take 6 to another side,

$\frac{9}{9x-x^2}=\frac{8}{3\times 6}$

Cross multiply,

$9\times 18=8\times(9x-x^2)$

$162=72x-8x^2$

Taking 4 common and cancel out

$4x^2-36x+81=0$

Solve quadratic equation by middle term split,

$4x^2-18x-18x+81=0$

$2x(2x-9)-9(2x-9)=0$

$(2x-9)(2x-9)=0$

$\Rightarrow 2x-9=0$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{9}{2}=4.5$

Therefore, The speed of the river's current is 4.5 km/hr.

% change = (new value - old value)/(old value) * 100%
.. = (9.67 -9.74)/9.74 * 100%
.. = -0.07/9.74 * 100%
.. = -0.7%

The decrease is 0.7%.
