B. x is about equal to -1 and x is about equal to 0.75
When plugged into both equations, these values make f(x) and g(x) approximately the same.
Answer:
67600
Step-by-step explanation:
An independent system has different slopes hence has a unique solution.
If two lines have the same slope then, they are inconsistent. The reason is that the two lines could have NO SOLUTION or INFINITELY MANY SOLUTION.
An inconsistent system that have infinitely many solution is said to be dependent.
Now let us make
the subject in both equations, to obtain,

For the seccond equation, we have



Wow, the two systems have the same slope and
intercept. This means the system has infinitely many solution, hence it is dependent.
<h2>
The two systems are dependent</h2>
It's already rounded because there are only two numbers after the decimal which means it's already in hundreths
Let
x---------> the rate of the boat in still water in mph
y--------> the rate of the current in mph
we know that
Upstream

equation 
Downstream

equation 
Adds equation
and equation 

Find the value of y

therefore
the answer is
the rate of the boat in still water is 
the rate of the current is
