Answer:

  • boat: 48 km/h
  • current: 14 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The upstream speed is ...

  u = (204 km)/(6 h) = 34 km/h

The downstream speed is ...

  d = (372 km)/(6 h) = 62 km/h

The speed of the boat in still water is the average of these values:

  b = (34 kph +62 kph)/2 = 48 kph

The speed of the water is the difference between the boat's speed and the speed made good:

  w = 48 -34 = 14 . . . km/h

The rate of the boat in still water is 48 km/h. The rate of the current is 14 km/h.

Answer: x = 21°

Step-by-step explanation:

37 + 4x + (3x - 4) = 180°   Original Equation

37 + 4x + 3x - 4 = 180°   Commutative Property of Addition

7x + 33 = 180°   Combine like terms

7x = 148°  Subtract 33 from both sides

x = 21°   Divide both sides by 7

How much is a 40% discount off of $74.99
pychu [463]

Answer:

\frac{40}{100}  \times  \frac{7499}{100}

\frac{2}{5}  \times  \frac{7499}{100}

\frac{1}{5}  \times  \frac{7499}{50}

\frac{7499}{250}

7499/250= 29.996

74.99-29.996= $44.994
