dan and cheryl paddled their canoe 40 mi in 5 hr with the current and 16 mi in 8 hr against the current. Find the speed of the c
Arada [10]
Let the speed of the current be x and the speed of the canoe in still water be y, then

y+x= \frac{40}{5} =8 \\ y-x= \frac{16}{8} =2

Adding the two equations, we have:

2y=10 \\  \\ \Rightarrow y=5

From any of the equations, we have that x = 2

Therefore, the speed of the current is 2 miles per hour while the speed of the canoe in still water is 5 miles per hour.

Which expression has a coefficient of positive 1 for the the term n?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

3n^2+n-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Coefficient is the number that we multiply an expression that contains a variable. In all the expressions above the variable is n.

Some examples:

Coefficient of n^2 is 1.

Coefficient of n in n^2+2n+1 is 2.

Solution:

In 5n^2+6n-1 the Coefficient of n is 6.

In 2n^2+5n+1 the Coefficient of n is 5.

In 40^2 - n +9 the Coefficient of n is - 1.

In 3n^2 +n - 2 the Coefficient of n is POSITIVE 1.

We tend to not write 1*n because 1*n=n.
