Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- The speed of the boat in the lake = x
- The speed of the current = 3 km/h
<u>Required equation:</u>
- 54 / (x + 3) + 42 / (x - 3) = 96/x
- 9x(x - 3) + 7x(x + 3) = 16(x + 3)(x - 3)
- 9x² - 27x + 7x² + 21x = 16x² - 144
- 6x = 144
- x = 144/6
- x = 24 km/h
Answer:
There is a 1/3 (or 0.33%) probability of rolling a number greater than or equal to 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find what numbers are greater than or equal to 5:
5 and 6
Find what options you can get on a number cube:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6
Out of the 6 possible outcomes, there are only 2 that will get a number greater than or equal to 5. Write this as a fraction:
2/6
Simplify:
1/3
27 because you have to divide 54 pencils by two people
Note: a² - b² = (a-b)(a+b)
9x² - 16y² = (3x)² - (4y)² = (3x - 4y)(3x + 4y)
