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

If you can calculate how much paint would cover this room & fill out this sheet, it would be greatly
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

A. Your Choice

B. Green (Your Choice, but the other answers are only applicable if you use 1 color.)

C. Same color

D. The walls are 8 * 20 ft and 8 * 25 ft, and there are 2 of each of those.

That means you are painting 720 ft^2

There is 1 gallon per 400 ft^2, so you need 2 gallons of paint.

It costs $13.98 per gallon, so you need $13.98 * 2 = $27.96

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the following line?<br><br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-7y%2B%208x%3D9" id="
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

m = -\frac{7}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Finding the slope of the given line </h3>

We need to find the slope of this equation to find the slope of a line perpendicular to it. This means we must solve for y.

Start off by subtracting 8x from both sides of the equation to start isolating the variable y.

-7y=9- 8x

Now solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by -7.

y=\frac{9-8x}{-7}

This can be broken into two parts by distributing the negative sign from the -7 into the 9 and -8x like so:

y=\frac{-9}{7} +\frac{8x}{7 }

The slope of a line is the coefficient of x, so in this case the slope of the given line (-7y+8x=9) is \frac{8}{7}.

<h3>Finding the slope of a line perpendicular to the given line</h3>

Two lines that are perpendicular would have opposite reciprocal slopes, which means the perpendicular slope would be the negative counterpart and would be flipped.

For example, if you have 2 as the slope of one of the perpendicular lines, the other line would be the opposite (-2) reciprocal (-\frac{1}{2}).

Therefore, since we have the slope of one of the perpendicular lines (the given line), we would find the opposite reciprocal of it's slope to solve this problem.

Slope: \frac{8}{7}

  • Opposite: -\frac{8}{7}
  • Reciprocal: -\frac{7}{8}

The slope of the line perpendicular to -7y+8x=9 is -\frac{7}{8}.

4 5/8 + 2 1/4 = ??? plz help
Anettt [7]
6 7/8. You must get a common denominater. I used 8, which multiplis 4 times 2. Then the top number is multiplied by 2 to get 2/8. Now add the tops and bottoms to get 7/8. Now add the whole numbers to get 6.
