Bill wanted to try out different water craft he went 62 mikes downstream in a motor boat and 27 mikes down stream on a jest ski

his speed on the jet ski was 10 mph faster than the motor boat bill spent a total of 4 hours on the water what was his speed in the motor boat

Answer:

The speed on motorboat is 20 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

here, we want to find the speed on the motorboat

if he has a speed of x mph on the motor boat, his speed on the ski will be (x + 10) mph

The total hours is 4 hours

Mathematically; speed = distance/time

Time on ski is 27/x+ 10

Time on motor boat is 62/x

The addition of both is 4

Thus;

27/(x + 10) + 62/x = 4

27(x) + 62(x + 10) = 4(x)(x + 10)

27x + 62x + 620 = 4(x^2 + 10x)

89x + 620 = 4x^2 + 40x

4x^2 -49x-620 = 0

using the quadratic formula;

{-b ± √(b^2-4ac)}/2a

where a = 4, b = -49 and c = -620

= 49 ± √(-49)^2-4(4)(-620)/8

So we have

49+ 111/8 or 49-111/8

Speed cannot be negative

(49 + 111)/8

= 20 mph

m∠AOB = 6x + 5, m∠BOC = 4x - 2, m∠AOC = 8x + 21
AnnZ [28]
The sum of angle AOB and angle BOC is equal tot he angle of AOC so

6x+5 +4x-2 = 8x+21

10x+3=8x+21

Subtract three and 8x from both sides

2x=18

Divide by two

x=9

Hope this helped!

What is the value of x?<br> 40<br> 550<br> A. 1059<br> B. 75°<br> C. 850<br> D. 95°
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

the answer is 85° because all angles in a triangle add up to 180

so u add them both up, subtract from 180 n u get 85

At 1:00 pm the water level in a pool is 13 inches. At 1:30pm the water level is 18 inches. At 2:30pm the water level is 28 inche
SashulF [63]
From the given question we come to know of certain number of facts and they are:
At 1:00 PM the water level of the pond was = 13 inches
At 1:30 PM the water level of the pond was = 18 inches
At 2:30 PM the water level of the pond was = 28 inches
From the above given facts we can easily find the amount of water changing every half an hour.
Amount of increase in water from 1:00PM to 1:30 PM = (18 - 13) inches
                                                                                       = 5 inches
Amount of increase in water level from 1:30PM to 2:30PM = (28 -18) inches
                                                                                             = 10 inches
From the above two deductions we can come to the conclusion the the constant rate of change in water level is 5 inches for every half an hour.

The distance travelled in (m) by a ball dropped from a height are 128/9,32/3,8,6,...
Allushta [10]

Answer: it will trave 56.89 meters before coming to rest.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric progression since the distance travelled (height) by the ball is reducing by a constant ratio, r. Since the number of times that the ball will bounce is infinite, then we would apply the formula for determining the sum of the terms in a geometric progression to infinity which is expressed as

S = a/(1 - r)

where

S = sum of the distance travelled by the ball

a = initial distance or height of the ball

r = common ratio

From the information given,

a = 128/9

r = (32/3)/(128/9) = 0.75

Therefore,

S = (128/9)/(1 - 0.75) = 56.89 meters
