Answer:
5 or 6
Step-by-step explanation:
So I did it in a different way than shown in rsm classes. I said that the speed was x-2 and x.
then I said the distance was 6 and 15. If the time taken was 1 hour more, then we can come up with this equation:
Since the time is 6/x-2 or 15/x
15/x-6/x-2=1
multiply everything to get a common denominator then cancel it out to get
(15x-30)-6x=x^2-2x
11x-30=x^2
x^2-11x+30=0
(x-5)(x-6) is factored form.
so x=5 or x=6. this means that the speed of the boat is either 5km/h or 6 km/h
Answer:
5/16
Step-by-step explanation:
15+(5-x)/x=30
1) Subtract 15 from both sides:
(5-x)/x=15
2) Multiply both sides by x:
5-x=15x
3) Add x to both sides:
16x=5
4) Divide both sides by 16:
x=5/16
90=l+l+w+w
90=28+28+w+w
90=56+2w
34=2w
17=w
The width of the playground is 17.
