Answer:
All are correct
Step-by-step explanation:
If Friend A gives 145 and Friend C gives 245 they already have a total of $390 out of the $700. So the missing amount is 310, half that for both friends and get 155, so the last 2 could both pay 155. No matter which way you put the number you will get the same answer. And as the communitive property states "The numbers on which we operate can be moved or swapped from their position without making any difference to the answer." and all of the answer choices apply to that statment.
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
--------------------------
848 (811+37)
Using the equation
-780 + 37x44=y
-780+ 1,628= 848
Let the speed of river be x km/hr down stream.
Time = Distance / speed
Since river flows downstream, speed of boat down stream = Speed of boat + speed of river = (15 + x).
Since river flows downstream, speed of boat upstream = Speed of boat - speed of river = (15 - x).
Time Upstream - Time Downstream = 75 minutes
Time Upstream = 45 / (15 - x)
Time Downstream = 45 / (15 + x)
75 minutes = 75/60 = 5/4 hours
Time Upstream - Time Downstream = 75 minutes = 5/4 hours
45 / (15 - x) - 45 / (15 + x) = 5/4 Divide both sides by 45
1 / (15 - x) - 1 / (15 + x) = (5/4)*(1/45)
1 / (15 - x) - 1 / (15 + x) = 1/36
((15 + x) - (15 -x)) / (15-x)(15+x) = 1/36
(15 +x - 15 +x) / (15-x)(15+x) = 1/36
2x / (15-x)(15+x) = 1/36
(15-x)(15+x) = 2x*36
(15-x)(15+x) = 72x
225 - x² = 72x
0 = x² + 72x -225
x² + 72x -225 = 0 This is a
quadratic function, use a calculator that can solve the function, by
inputting the function.
x = 3, or -75. Since we are solving for speed, we can not have negative values.
x = 3 is the only valid solution.
Speed of the river = 3 km/hr downstream.
