Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x + 6 = 17

subtract 6 from each side of the equation:

1/2x = 11

multiply both sides by 2:

x = 22

The speed of boat in still water is 15km/hr if needs 4 more his to travel 63 km against the current of a river than it needs to

hram777 [196]

Answer:

$\frac{63}{15 - c} - \frac{63}{15 + c} = 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The systems of equations are

Let us assume the rate of the current be c

Now actual speed against the current is (15 - c)

And, the actual speed with the current is (15 + c)

Here we applied the time formula i.e. distance by speed

Also the upstream time - downstream time = 4

Now the equations are

$\frac{63}{15 - c} - \frac{63}{15 + c} = 4$

Find the ninth term of the sequence sqrt 5, sqrt 10, ^2sqrt 5

hjlf

The rule of geometric sequence is ⇒⇒⇒ a * r^(n-1)
Where a is the first term and r is the common ratio
for the given sequence √5 , √10 , 2√5 , .......
a = √5
r = √10 / √5 = √2
The ninth term = √5 * (√2)^(9-1) = √5 * (√2)⁸ = 16 √5

the correct answer is the third option 16√5
