Answer:

Tim needs to mow 5 more lawns in order to buy his new lawnmower

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Tim has already mowed $30 worth of lawns

2) Tim makes $10 per mow

4) Tim needs to make $75 total for his new mower

5) $75 - $30 = $45

6) Tim needs to make $45 in order to get his new mower

7) 5 x 10 = 50

8) Tim needs to mow 5 lawns in order to make over $45

9) If Tim only mowed 4 lawns he would make $40 and still be $5 short

You decide to enter in a rowing competition. To train, you go to the boat house and begin rolling down stream. You row for the s

fredd [130]

Answer:

Time spent rowing down stream $=100\ seconds$

Speed of boat in still water $=14\ ms^{-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of boat in still water be $= x\ ms^{-1}$

Speed of current $= 10\ ms^{-1}$

Speed of boat down stream = $\textrm{Speed of boat in still water +Speed of current}= (x+10)\ ms^{-1}$

Distance rowed down stream = 2400 m

Time spent rowing down stream = $\frac{Distance}{Speed}=\frac{2400}{x+10}\ s$ = $\frac{Distance}{Speed}=\frac{2400}{x+10}\ s$

Speed of boat up stream = $\textrm{Speed of boat in still water -Speed of current}= (x-10)\ ms^{-1}$

Distance rowed up stream = $\frac{1}{6} \textrm{ of distance rowed downstream}=\frac{1}{6}\times 2400 = 400\ m$

Time spent rowing up stream = $\frac{Distance}{Speed}=\frac{400}{x-10}\ s$

We know that,

$\textrm{Time spent rowing down stream =Time spent rowing up stream}$

So,

$\frac{2400}{x+10}=\frac{400}{x-10}$

Cross multiplying

$2400(x-10)=400(x+10)$

Dividing both sides by $400$

$\frac{2400(x-10)}{400}=\frac{400(x+10)}{400}$

$6(x-10)=x+10$

$6x-60=x+10$

Adding 60 to both sides.

$6x-60+60=x+10+60$

$6x=x+70$

Subtracting both sides by $x$

$6x-x=x+70-x$

$5x=70$

Dividing both sides by 5.

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{70}{5}$

∴ $x=14$

Speed of boat in still water $=14\ ms^-1$

Time spent rowing down stream = $\frac{2400}{14+10}=\frac{2400}{24}=100\ s$

The limit as x-approaches 3 of f(x) is x-3 over x squared -9

Luden [163]

notice that the denominator can be factored into (x-3)(x+3).

Now you can cross out (x - 3) from the numerator and denomiantor resulting in a simplified fraction of $\frac{1}{x+3}$

Plug the limit value (which is 3) into the simplified fraction.

Answer: $\frac{1}{6}$

One step inequalities.... 9x<18<br> how to solve

Nuetrik [128]

So 9x<18 can be factored out into
9(x)<9(2)
you can divide both sides by 9
x<2

so the solution is any number more than 2, but not 2
