speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr
Answer:
let the rate in still water be x and rate of the current be y.
speed down the river is:
speed=distance/time
speed=14/2=7 mi/h
speed up the river is:
speed=(14)/(3.5)=4 mi/hr
thus total speed downstream and upstream will be:
x+y=7...i
x-y=4.......ii
adding the above equations i and ii we get:
2x=11
x=5.5 mi/hr
thus
y=5-5.5=1.5 mi/r
thus the speed in still waters is 5.5 mi/hr
speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr
Answer:
1 2/3 hope this helps and have a wonderful day
Step-by-step explanation:
You said the other one would be the last haha just kidding I'm glad to help.

First, get rid of that parenthesis.

Now multiply both sides by 2 so that you can isolate k

This is a pretty easy one. If you didn't know, 121/11 is actually 11 :)

Simply multiply by 3 to isolate r :)


Step-by-step explanation:
the y intercept is where 0= x
(0,y)
m is 5
