Answer:

2.1429 or 2 and 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Time = time

12/(15+c)=9/(15-c)

12(15-c)=9(15+c)

12*15-12c =9*15+9c

21c=3*15

c=3*15/21

c=45/21=2.1429..(speed of the current)

Downstream info;

distance=12miles;rate=15+c mph; time=d/r =12/(15+c)hrs.

Upstream info;

distance=9miles;rate=15-c mph;time=d/r=9/(15-c)hrs.

I hope it's helpful!

Given m ZLMN = 145°, what is m ZXMN?<br> Show all relevant work.
myrzilka [38]
80 degrees. 145 = (4x+5) + (6x-10) = 10x-5... so 10x = 150, x = 15. LMN = 6x-10 = 6(15) - 10 = 80.

Can someone help me with this question please

Start with the given equation.

P1V1=P2V2

To solve for P2, move anything else on that side to the other side so that P2 is alone.

P1V1=P2V2
P2=P1V1/V2

Peter says that 3/4 of a pizza is always the same as 6/8 of pizza. Nadia says that while they are equivalent fractions, 3/4 and
Whitepunk [10]
Nadia Is correct I believe, Because if a pizza is cut into 8 slices each slice is going to be smaller. but if it were to be cut into fourths it would be bigger. They are indeed equivalent but still never the same in size.

Answer:

  the number of cookies ordered

Step-by-step explanation:

When an equation is written in the form ...

  (left variable) = (some expression involving one or more right variables)

we usually describe the "left variable" as the "dependent variable" and the "one or more right variables" as the "independent variable(s)".

Here, the equation is given as ...

  C = 3s + 30

__

This tells you C is the dependent variable, and s is the independent variable. The description also says "C is the number of cookies." Since you know that the dependent variable is the number of cookies, you can answer the question ...

  the dependent quantity is the number of cookies ordered.  (matches the first choice)
