Answer: The equations are
6x - 6y = 9
4x + 4y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the row boat in still water.
Let y represent the speed of the current.
Dana can travel 9 miles in her rowboat in 6 hours against the current. This means that the total speed at which she travelled is
(x - y) miles per hour.
Distance = speed × time
Distance travelled against the current is expressed as
9 = 6(x - y)
6x - 6y = 9
With the current, it takes 4 hours to row the same distance. This means that the total speed at which she travelled is
(x + y) miles per hour.
Distance travelled with the current is expressed as
9 = 4(x + y)
4x + 4y = 9
Answer:
x=14
y=140
Step-by-step explanation:
Using (9x+14) + (3x-2) = 180, we can solve this equation.
First add like values giving you 12x+12=180. Then subtract 12 from both sides giving you 12x=168.
Then divide both sides by 12 giving you x=14.
Finally, just simply set 9x+14 equal to y and substitute x for 14. This gives you 140=y
