Answer:

2 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Rate of river current = x km/h

Speed of Peter's boat = 4x km/h

He takes 15 km trip up (opposite direction)

His speed upstream = 4x - x

= 3x

His speed is 3x and distance is 15 km

Time = Distance / Speed

15/3x

= 5/x

And

Moving downstream (same direction)

Speed will be 4x + x = 5x

Distance = 15km,

speed = 5x

Time = Distance / Speed

= 15/5x

= 3/x

Total time take for trip = 4 hours

Total time take for trip = upstream + downstream

4 =5/x + 3/x

4 = 8/x

Cross product

4 * x = 8

x = 8/4

x = 2

Rate of river current = x km/h

= 2 km/h

Solve for m: <br> 8(m + 2) = 3(12 - 4m)
Tema [17]

Answer:

m=1

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1: 8(m + 2) = 3(12 - 4m) remove the parentheses

step 2: 8 m + 2 = 3 12 - 4m move the terms

step 3: 8m+ 12m= 36 - 16 collect like terms and calulate

step 4: 20m=20 divide both sides

solution: m=1

Can someone please help me with this problem
Serjik [45]

Answer:

1. 35

2. 145

3. 55

4. 90

5. 145

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 35: angle 1 and 2 are a linear pair (meaning it is in one line and adds to 180). Since we know angle 2 is 145, ∠1 = 180 - 145

∠1 = 35

2. 145: ∠7 = ∠2 because they are alternate angles and alternate angles are equal

3. 55: ∠7 = ∠5 + ∠4 because vertically opposite angles are equal. We know that ∠5 = 90, hence ∠4 would equal 145 - 90 = 55

4. ∠5 = 90. It is given

5. 145: ∠9 = ∠2 because they are vertically opposite
