The slope of these two points are 1.7
18*(1/3) is the same as 18/3.
The answer is 6kg.
Since:
ax(2x + y - 5) = 6x^2 +3xy - 15x,
we should factor X out of the second equation to find out the value of a:
6x^2 + 3xy - 15x =
x(6x + 3y - 15),
Now that we factored X out, to find a, we need to find the other common factor:
(6x + 3y - 15) / (2x + y - 5),
which is 3.
Hence the value of a is 3
Answer:
1.8 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of the steamer in still water is 18 mph.
Speed of the current = x mph.
1. The steamer going downstream traveled the distance between two ports in 3 hours. Traveling downstream the current "helps" the steamer, then the speed is 18 + x mph.
The distance traveled downstream = 3(18 + x) miles.
2. The steamer going upstream traveled the distance between two ports in 3 hours 40 minutes that is
hours. Traveling upstream the current "interferes" the steamer, then the speed is 18 - x mph.
The distance traveled upstream
miles.
3. The distances are the same, so

Solve this equation:
