Answer:
It’s 60miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the trip is "d" miles and that the "extra hour" refers to the additional time that a current of 2 mph would add. That is, we assume the reference time is for a current of 0 mph.
The time with no current is ...
time1 = distance/speed
time1 = d/12 . . . . hours
With a current of 2 mph in the opposite direction, the time is ...
time2 = d/(12 -2) = d/10
The second time is 1 hour longer than the first, so we have ...
time2 = 1 + time1
d/10 = 1 + d/12
6d = 60 + 5d . . . . multiply by 60
d = 60 . . . . . . . . . subtract 5d
The one-way distance is 60 miles.
There are two answers to this question
the first possible answer is 5, 6, and 7 and the second possible answer is -4, -3, and -2
Step-by-step explanation:
let the three numbers be (x-1), x, and (x+1)
the product of the smallest and largest number is 17 more than 3 times the middle number, or
(x-1)(x+1) = 3x+17, or
x^2-1 = 3+17, or
x^2-3x-18 = 0
(x-6)(x+3) = 0
So x = 6 or -3
Then just subtract one and add one to get the other integers. the three numbers are 5, 6, and 7 or -4, -3, and -2
Answer: 60 ounces of flour
Step-by-step explanation:
8•7.5=60
Answer:
x = 2.667
Step-by-step explanation:
so first you wanna isolate the x by adding 2 to both sides
3x - 2 = 6 ---> 3x = 8
then divide both sides by 3 to get the x alone
x = 8/3 = 2.667
