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
Well that's division.
•36 divided by 9 is equal to 4.
• 81 divided by 9 is equal to 9.
•45 divided by 5 is equal to 9.
•56 divided by 7 is equal to 8.
•42 divided by 7 is equal to 6.
We are trying to find the number that when added to 19, gives us less than 42. We can set up this simple inequality:
19 + x < 42
Now, subtract 19 from both sides:
x < 23
Our number can be anything less than 23.
Answer:
Add 7 to both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
You would need to add 7 to both sides to cancel out the 7 on the right side of the equation to get x one step closer to being by itself.
Then you would get 4x = -8.
Next divide by 4 on both sides to get x by itself so do the inverse operation of what 4 was doing to x.
x = -2
Y = mx + c is the general equation of a line. m is the slope and c is the y intercept, by substituting these values in you get y = 1/4 x -2
