Kyle, d = rt, right? This means that t = d/r. If we call the rate of the current c, then her rate upstream is hindered by the current and is 3 - c. Downstream is 3 + c. The total time is 6 hours... 5/(3 - c) + 5/(3 + c) = 6 Once we put everything over the same denominator, we don't need it anymore. 5(3 + c) + 5(3 - c) = 6(3 - c)(3 + c) 15 + 5c + 15 - 5c = 54 - 6c2
30 = 54 - 6c26c2 = 24c2 = 4c = 2 2 mph
B) In y = 25x, the value of y is 25 times the value of x, and in y = x + 25, the value of y is 25 more than the value of x.
Out of all the answer choices, b makes the most sense.
25x can be translated as 25 times x.
x + 25 can be translated as 25 more than a number.
Hope this helps!
