Draw one ten, (If you have to draw ones, draw 3 of those) and the new fact is 10 + 3. (That equals 13, if you need that.)
Look at my pfp it tells you the answer
Let 'x' be the distance from THE far bank where 700 is the distance to the NEAR bank
boat one has travelled 700 (rate = 700/unit time) boat two has travelled x rate = x / unit time
boat one then travels x + 400 more and boat two travels 700 + (700+x -400) more when they meet
The time is the same rate x time = distance distance/rate = time equate the distances divided by the respective rates
(700 + x + 400)/700 = ( x + 700 + (700+x-400) )/x
1100x + x^2 = 1400x + 700000
x^2-300x -700000 = 0 quadratic formula yields x = 1000
One boat travels 700 the other 1000 whe they first meet.....width of river = 700+ 1000 = 1700 m
Answer:
3(x - 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3x - 12 ← factor out 3 from each term
= 3(x - 4)
