Answer:
first quadrant
Step-by-step explanation:
3+4 because they are both the same answer
The answer is B I believe
Answer:
The rate of the boat in still water is 40 miles per hour
The rate of the current is 10 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The speed or rate is equal to divide the distance by the time
Let
x ----> the rate of the current (miles per hour)
y ----> the rate of the boat in still water (miles per hour)
we have that
<em>going upstream </em>
----> equation A
<em>going downstream </em>
----> equation B
Solve the system of equations by elimination
Adds equation A and equation B
<em>Find the value of x </em>
therefore
The rate of the boat in still water is 40 miles per hour
The rate of the current is 10 miles per hour
Your numbers are 2, 3, 4.
The three consecutive numbers are x, x+1, x+2
The square of the first equals the third so x^2=x+2
Solve this quadratic as x^2-x-2=0
Factor into (x+1)(x-2)=0
So your answers are x=-1 and x=2
Since the question says they’re positive integers, use x=2
So the numbers are 2, 3, 4
