Let speed of the boat in still water = x miles per hour
Let speed of the current = y miles per hour
When water and current both flow in same direction then effective speed will be sum of both speeds that is (x+y)
now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time
we get equation:
(x+y)=160/8
or x+y=20...(i)
When water and current both flow in opposite direction then effective speed will be difference of both speeds that is (x-y)
now plug the given values in formula speed=distance/time
we get equation:
(x-y)=160/40
or x-y=4
or x=4+y...(ii)
plug value of x into (i)
4+y+y=20
4+2y=20
2y=16
y=8
plug value of y into (ii)
x=4+8=12
Hence final answer is given by:
Speed of the boat in still water = 12 miles per hour
Speed of the current = 8 miles per hour
Answer : The 5th day = 3 Celsius
Explanation:
the average of the first 4 day is 8
Which mean the combine temp on the first 4 day is 8 x 4 = 32
Now on the first 5 day the average temp is 7
Then the combine temp on the first 5 day is 7 x 5 = 35
Find the 5th day
4 days combine temp + 5th day = the combine temp of 5 days
32 + 5th day = 35
5th day = 35-32
5th day temp = 3C
Answer:
14x + 8
Explanation:
⇒ 4(5x+5) - 3(2x + 4)
distribute inside parenthesis
⇒ 4(5x) + 4(5) - 3(2x) - 3(4)
multiply the variables
⇒ 20x + 20 - 6x - 12
collect like terms
⇒ 20x - 6x + 20 - 12
subtract like term
⇒ 14x + 8
Answer:The answer is 12
