Y=3

Answer:
6.11km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the speed that Kelli swims be represented by Y
Speed of the river = 5km/hr
Distance = Speed × Time
Kelli swam upstream for some distance in one hour
Swimming upstream takes a negative sign, hence:
1 hour ×( Y - 5) = Distance
Distance = Y - 5
She then swam downstream the same river for the same distance in only 6 minutes
Downstream takes a positive sign
Converting 6 minutes to hour =
60 minutes = 1 hour
6 minutes =
Cross Multiply
6/60 = 1/10 hour
Hence, Distance =
1/10 × (Y + 5)
= Y/10 + 1/2
Equating both equations we have:
Y - 5 = Y/10 + 1/2
Collect like terms
Y - Y/10 = 5 + 1/2
9Y/10 = 5 1/2
9Y/ 10 = 11/2
Cross Multiply
9Y × 2 = 10 × 11
18Y = 110
Y = 110/18
Y = 6.1111111111 km/hr
Therefore, Kelli's can swim as fast as 6.11km/hr still in the water.
Answer:
1. x = 21
2. x = 19
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the interior angles of all quadrilaterals add up to 360, all we have to do is add them up and set them equal to 360. Combine like terms and we get
7x + 213 = 360
Which further turns to 7x = 147
So x = 21
For the second problem, it's the same thing
By the end we get 2x + 8 = 46
2x = 38
x = 19
Hope this helps
