Is a (0,18) ? not sure though baha.
D=rt
r=(boatrate+riverrate)=(x+2)mph
d=528ft=528/5280mi=1/10mi
t=1/3hr
remember to keep the same units
so
1/10=(x+2)(1/3)
times both sides by 3
3/10=x+2
minus 2 or 20/10
-17/10=x
-1.7=x
it would be going -1.7mph (means going backwards)
Answer:
1. x = 8
2. y = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Plug the function
5x + 20(0.50) = 50
= 5x + 10 = 50
Subtract 10 from both side
= 5x = 40
Divide 5 on both sides
= x = 8
2. Plug in the function
5(8) + 20y = 50
= 40 + 20y = 50
Subtract 40 on both sides
= 20y = 10
Divide 20 both sides
= y = 10/20 | 1/2
