Answer:

m = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given w is inversely proportional to m then the equation relating them is

w = $\frac{k}{m}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition w = 8, m = 25 , then

8 = $\frac{k}{25}$ ( multiply both sides by 25 )

200 = k

w = $\frac{200}{m}$ ← equation of variation

When w = 20 , then

20 = $\frac{200}{m}$ ( multiply both sides by m )

20m = 200 ( divide both sides by 20 )

m = 10

A boat has a speed of 15 mph in still water. It travels downstream from Greentown to Glenavon in g hours. It then goes back upst

Lerok [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find two things-- the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current. Each of these things will be represented by a different variable:

B = speed of the boat in still water

C = speed of the current

Since we have two variables, we will need to find a system of two equations to solve.

How do we find the two equations we need?

Rate problems are based on the relationship Distance = (Rate)(Time).

Fill in the chart with your data (chart attached)

The resulting speed of the boat (traveling upstream) is B-C miles per hour. On the other hand, if the boat is traveling downstream, the current will be pushing the boat faster, and the boat's speed will increase by C miles per hour. The resulting speed of the boat (traveling downstream) is B+C miles per hour. Put this info in the second column in the chart. Now plug it into a formula! <u>Distance=(Rate)(Time) </u>Now solve using the systems of equations!

Given that x = -2 - 3i and y = 4 + 2i , Match The Expressions.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

$3y-2x=16+12i$

$-3x \cdot y=6+48i$

$x \cdot 2y=-4-32i$

$x-y=-6-5i$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$x=-2-3i$

$y=4+2i$

---

1st problem:

$3y-2x$

$3(4+2i)-2(-2-3i)$

Distribute:

$12+6i+4+6i$

Combine like terms:

$16+12i$

---

2nd problem:

$-3x \cdot y$

$-3(-2-3i) cdot (4+2i)$

$-3(-2-3i)(4+2i)$

Distribute -3 to first factor:

$(6+9i)(4+2i)$

Use foil to simplify:

$24+12i+36i+18i^2$

Replace $i^2$ with -1:

$24+48i-18$

Combine like terms:

$6+48i$

---

3rd problem:

$x \cdot 2y$

$(-2-3i) \cdot 2(4+2i)$

Distribute 2 to the second factor:

$(-2-3i) \cdot (8+4i)$

$(-2-3i)(8+4i)$

Use foil to simplify:

$-16-8i-24i-12i^2$

Replace $i^2$ with -1:

$-16-32i+12$

Combine like terms:

$-4-32i$

----

4th problem:

$(-2-3i)-(4+2i)$

Distribute:

$-2-3i-4-2i$

Combine like terms:

$-2-4-3i-2i$

Simplify:

$-6-5i$
