Answer:
1.8 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of the steamer in still water is 18 mph.
Speed of the current = x mph.
1. The steamer going downstream traveled the distance between two ports in 3 hours. Traveling downstream the current "helps" the steamer, then the speed is 18 + x mph.
The distance traveled downstream = 3(18 + x) miles.
2. The steamer going upstream traveled the distance between two ports in 3 hours 40 minutes that is
hours. Traveling upstream the current "interferes" the steamer, then the speed is 18 - x mph.
The distance traveled upstream
miles.
3. The distances are the same, so

Solve this equation:

Answer:
x=.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you need to isolate the variable term, so you have to move -5 over to the other side. Since it is subtraction on this side, you add 5 to both sides to cancel out the -5, and add it to the other side.
Now we have 10x=5. To solve for the variable, we have to divide by the number in the variable term. In this case, it is 10. 10/10 is 1, so now x is alone. We have to do the same thing on the other side. 5/10 is .5.
That's the answer! It's x=.5!
Its C. because it doesnt pass the vertical line test. if u draw a line through it it touches 2 lines but it should touch only one so its C.
.658 is the answer to your question
