quadratic equations can be soled by 3 methods
factorization
completing square
quadratic formula
but factorization is the simplest
Let b and s be the velocity of the boat and stream respectively....
3(b-s)=27
b-s=9
b=9+s we will use this in the second equation....
2(b+s)=30
b+s=15, now use b found above in this to get:
9+s+s=15
2s+9=15
2s=6
s=3, and since from earlier b-s=9, b=9+s so
b=12
So the speed of the boat is 12mph and the stream is 3 mph
Answer:
240m
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume is length x width x height
7.5m x 4m x 8m: 240m
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the left side:
5x - 20 = 3x + 4
Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation:
2x - 20 = 4
Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation:
2x = 24
Divide each term by 2 and simplify:
x = 12
We are given the table that projects the distance of the car per hour. x is associated to time while y is associated to distance. The equation of the line after plotting in MS Excel is y = 900 - 50x. Hence the y-intercept is equal to 900 while the slope is equal to -50. The domain of the function that is x is all positive numbers.
