144÷16=9 I used a calculator
It Is Just -1.
The Parenthesis Are All Simplified, And The Subtraction Sign Changes It To Negative. So, 1 Changed To Negative Is -1. <span />
Answer:
-2+5*2= -2+10/4
You get 8/4 which is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
R=rate of boat in still water
c=rate of current
d=rt
since you're given that the time it takes to travel the same distance downstream and upstream, your equation will be d_1=d_2, or rt=rt
the rate upstream is r-c and the rate downstream is r+c (because the boat's and river's rates add up)
since you know t_1 and t_1 are 5 and 3, you can now set up 2 equations
<u>5*(r-c)=45</u> because (time upstream)*(rate upstream)=distance=45 miles
r-c=45/5=9
<u>3*(r+c)=45</u>
r+c=45/3=15
r-c=9 and r+c=15, so r=12 mi/h and c=3 mi/h
