3x+6=3(x+2)
3x+6=3x+6
minus 6 both sides
3x=3x
divide by 3
x=x
true
therefor all numbers work for x
there are infinite soltuions
Answer:
2000 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
When the motorboat is moving downstream, its speed relative to the ground is 18 km/h, so its speed relative to the raft is 15 km/h.
When the motorboat is moving upstream, its speed relative to the ground is 12 km/h, so its speed relative to the raft is again 15 km/h.
Converted to m/min, the relative speed is:
15 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 h / 60 min) = 250 m/min
It takes the motorboat 16 minutes to travel to the front of the raft and back. Since the speed is the same in both directions, the motorboat takes 8 minutes to travel the length of the raft.
So the length of the raft is 250×8 = 2000 meters.
