Answer:

5 or 6

Step-by-step explanation:

So I did it in a different way than shown in rsm classes. I said that the speed was x-2 and x.

then I said the distance was 6 and 15. If the time taken was 1 hour more, then we can come up with this equation:

Since the time is 6/x-2 or 15/x

15/x-6/x-2=1

multiply everything to get a common denominator then cancel it out to get

(15x-30)-6x=x^2-2x

11x-30=x^2

x^2-11x+30=0

(x-5)(x-6) is factored form.

so x=5 or x=6. this means that the speed of the boat is either 5km/h or 6 km/h

Bill and Amy want to ride their bikes from their neighborhood to school which is 14.4 km away. It takes Amy 40 minutes to arrive
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Amy is (21.6 - 14.4) 7.2 km/hr faster than Bill.

Distance = speed / time

Amy's speed

40 minutes = 40/60 = 2/3 hours

14.4 = speed / 2/3

Speed = 14.4 * 3/2 = 21.6 km/ hr

Bill speed

60 minutes = 1 hour

Speed = 14.4 km / hr.
