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

2\frac{1}{2}:1\frac{5}{8}=\frac{2\times2+1}{2}:\frac{1\times8+5}{8}=\frac{5}{2}:\frac{13}{8}=\frac{5}{\not2_1}\times\frac{\not8^4}{13}=\frac{5}{1}\times\frac{4}{13}=\frac{5\times4}{1\times13}=\frac{20}{13}=1\frac{7}{13}

The graph of the line passes through the points (0,-2) and (6,0). What is the equation of the line?
valina [46]

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{0}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{0-(-2)}{6-0}\implies \cfrac{0+2}{6}\implies \cfrac{2}{6}\implies \cfrac{1}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-2)=\cfrac{1}{3}(x-0) \\\\\\ y+2=\cfrac{1}{3}x\implies y=\cfrac{1}{3}x-2

If mMVUW=(4x+6)° and mWUT=(6x+10)°, what is the measure of WUT
FinnZ [79.3K]

As ray UW bisects ( divides the angles into two equal parts )

WUT = WUV

6x - 10° = 4x + 6°

6x - 4x = 6° + 10°

2x = 16°

x = 16° ÷ 2 = 8°

Putting the value of x in the Angle WUT

6 × 8° - 10° = 48° - 10° = 38°
