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:
True depending on what you are comparing it to.
Step-by-step explanation:
A pulley would help lighten the load that you are trying to pull up, which may make it easier for you to get the load to your designated area. The more complicated it is, usually the more 'lighter' it becomes, or the less force you have to exert.
For example, you will have to give a 100% energy in trying to life a heavy box. However, if you use a simple pulley (only one), you may only have to exert 75% more energy, for the weight is significantly lower.

Answer:
y + 2 = 
(x - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
y - 4 = (x - 3) ← is in point- slope form
with slope m =
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus equation of parallel line
with m = and (a, b) = Q(1, - 2) is
y - (- 2) = (x - 1) , that is
y + 2 = (x - 1)
