Answer: average speed is 8 km/h

Step-by-step explanation: in upstream his speed is 9 km/h -3km/h.

So his speed is 6km/h and he needs time t= s/v= 1.5 km: 6 km/h = 0.25 h

Downstream his speed is 9 km/ + 3km/h = 12km/h and time is

1.5 km:12km/h= 1/8 hours= 0.125 h

Average speed v = s/t = 3km: (0.25 + 0.125 ) h = 8 km/h

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rowing against the current, he travels 9-3 = 6 km/h.

1.5 km × (1 h)/(6 km) = ¼ h

It takes him ¼ h to row 1.5 km upstream.

Rowing with the current, he travels 9+3 = 12 km/h.

1.5 km × (1 h)/(12 km) = ⅛ h

It takes him ⅛ h to row 1.5 km downstream.

Average speed = (3 km)/(¼+⅛ h) = 8 km/h

BRAINLIEST!!Felicia had $80 when she went to a music store that charges $18 for each CD. She needs to have no less than $20 in h
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The possible number of CDs she could buy is 1, 2, and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to make an equation to solve to find the answer(s):

  • 80 - (18 · x) ≥ 20
  • 80 is how much money Felicia has; 18 is for the cost of each CD; x is for the number of CDs; ≥ is no less; and 20 is how much money Felicia needs to have left.

1.) 80 - (18 · 1) ≥ 20

80 - 18 · 1 ≥ 20

80 - 18 ≥ 20

62 ≥ 20

Since 62 ≥ 20 is always true, there are infinitely many solutions.

2.) 80 - (18 · 2) ≥ 20

80 - 18 · 2 ≥ 20

80 - 36 ≥ 20

44 ≥ 20

Since 44 ≥ 20 is always true, there are infinitely many solutions.

3.) 80 - (18 · 3) ≥ 20

80 - 18 · 3 ≥ 20

80 - 54 ≥ 20

26 ≥ 20

Since 26 ≥ 20 is always true, there are infinitely many solutions.

4.) 80 - (18 · 4) ≥ 20

80 - 18 · 4 ≥ 20

80 - 72 ≥ 20

8 ≥ 20

Since 8 ≥ 20 is false, there is no solution.

5.) 80 - (18 · 5) ≥ 20

80 - 18 · 5 ≥ 20

80 - 90 ≥ 20

- 10 ≥ 20

Since - 10 ≥ 20 is false, there is no solution.

Need help pls help me will mark first
Xelga [282]

Answer:

angles 5,6 are supplementary

angles 7 and 4 are vertical angles

(one solution of many)

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start with supplementary angles. those are two angles that add up to 180 degrees or make a straight angle. Two angles that fulfill this statement are 5 and 6 because 5 and 6 make a straight angle.

Now lets do vertical angles. Vertical angles are angles that are opposite of each. They are made by intersecting diagonals. One pair of angles that fulfill this are angles 7 and 4. if you can tell, they are opposite of each other.

supplementary= 5 and 6

vertical= 7 and 4

have a wonderful day!

Point A bisects LS BC. If LS BA=6x-3 and LS AC= 3x+7. Solve for X. PLS ANSWER QUICKLY!!!
denis23 [38]

Based on the bisection of line BC by point A, the value of x is 10/3

<h3>How to determine the value of x?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Point A bisects BC
  • BA = 6x - 3
  • AC= 3x + 7

Because the point A bisects BC, then

BA = AC

Substitute the known values in the above equation

So, we have

6x - 3 = 3x + 7

Collect the like terms

6x - 3x = 3 + 7

Evaluate the like terms

3x = 10

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

x = 10/3

Hence, based on the bisection of line BC by point A, the value of x is 10/3
