Mathematics

Answer:

here's what we know:

a + b = 72

a - b = 26

We can use the elimination method to solve this problem:

a + b = 72

a - b = 26

---------------

2a = 98

Divide both sides by 2:

a = 49

So we now have:

49 + b = 72

and:

49 - b = 26

Subtract 49 from both sides:

b = 23

and

-b = -23 (multiply both sides by -1) → b = 23

Answer:

\cos x=\dfrac{8}{f}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

\tan x=\dfrac{e}{8}\\\\\sin x=\dfrac{e}{f}

We need to find the value of cos x.

We know that,

\tan\theta=\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}

Using the above relation,

\dfrac{e}{8}=\dfrac{\dfrac{e}{f}}{\cos x}\\\\\cos x=\dfrac{\dfrac{e}{f}}{\dfrac{e}{8}}\\\\=\dfrac{e}{f}\times \dfrac{8}{e}\\\\=\dfrac{8}{f}

So, the value of cos x is equal to \dfrac{8}{f}.

A boat travels 12 Mph in still water. It can travel 18 miles upstream in the same time that it can travel 24 miles downstream. W
quester [9]

Answer:

The current of the water is 1.714 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the boat in t hours can travel 18 miles upstream, and  24 miles downstream.

Therefore, if the speed of the boat in still water is 12 mph and that of water is x mph , then we can write  

\frac{18}{t} = 12 - x ........ (1) and  

\frac{24}{t} = 12 + x ............ (2)

Now, adding those two equations (1) and (2) we get,

\frac{18}{t} + \frac{24}{t} = 24

⇒ t = 1.75 hours.

Now, from equation (1) we get

\frac{18}{1.75} = 12 - x

⇒ x = 1.714 mph

Therefore, the current of the water is 1.714 mph. (Answer)
