Answer:
=12y+18
Step-by-step explanation:
=(3)(6+4y)
=(3)(6)+(3)(4y)
=18+12y
=12y+18
You could solve this using a proportion or just by common sense.
Proportion: 8/12 = x/126
Cross multiply: 12x = 1008
1008/12 = 84
Or the common sense route is just dividing 12 by 8 then multiplying the answer by 126. Either way, you get the same answer. Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
4.5 mph or 9/2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the rate of the current
Formula: Distance = rate x time
where rate upstream =(12-x) and time =2 hours
15=(12-x)(2)
15=24–2x
2x=24–15
2x= 9
x=9/2=4.5 miles per hour (rate of current)
Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x – 6(3x + 4) = -4 + 8(1 - x)
Distribute
-4x – 18x -24 = -4 + 8 -8x
Combine like terms
-22x -24 = 4-8x
Add 22x to each side
-22x+22x -24 = 4-8x+22x
-24 =4+14x
Subtract 4 from each side
-24-4 = 4+14x-4
-28 = 14x
Divide each side by 14
-28/14 =14/14
-2 =x
