Answer:
10 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
speed of boat in still water = x
speed of current = 5
speed of boat with current (downstream) = x + 5
speed of boat against current (upstream) = x - 5
distance downstream = 9
distance upstream = 3
time = t
speed = distance/time
distance = speed × time
downstream:
9 = (x + 5)t
upstream:
3 = (x - 5)t
9 = xt + 5t
3 = xt - 5t
9 = xt + 5t
-3 = -xt + 5t
-----------------
6 = 10t
t = 0.6
9 = (x + 5)0.6
15 = x + 5
x = 10
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
9 divided by 6 is 1 but leaves 3 leaving 36 divide that by 6 so 16
We can find the equation of line when given two points or a point and the gradient/slope.
In the above line we have two points (0,10) and (10,50),
The slope of the line is therefore 4
Parallel lines have equal slopes or gradient, therefore the slope of the other line is still 4. And the line pases through a point (2,25), hence
Equation will be, (y-25)/(x-2) = 4
= y-25 = 4x-8
= y =4x +17
Thus the appropriate equation is y = 4x +17
Answer:
Simplifying
4x + 9 = 12x + -3
Reorder the terms:
9 + 4x = 12x + -3
Reorder the terms:
9 + 4x = -3 + 12x
Solving
9 + 4x = -3 + 12x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-12x' to each side of the equation.
9 + 4x + -12x = -3 + 12x + -12x
Combine like terms: 4x + -12x = -8x
9 + -8x = -3 + 12x + -12x
Combine like terms: 12x + -12x = 0
9 + -8x = -3 + 0
9 + -8x = -3
Add '-9' to each side of the equation.
9 + -9 + -8x = -3 + -9
Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0
0 + -8x = -3 + -9
-8x = -3 + -9
Combine like terms: -3 + -9 = -12
-8x = -12
Divide each side by '-8'.
x = 1.5
Simplifying
x = 1.5
