Answer:

If I am understanding your question, the total upstream is 8 miles and another 8 miles downstream.

Let s = the speed of the boat in still water

d = rt

8 = 5(s + 3)  downstream

8 = 5s + 15  equation 1

8 = 5(s - 3)   upstream

8 = 5s - 15    Add equation 1

8 = 5s + 15 

16 = 10s    Divide both sides by 10.

s = 16/10 = 8/5 = 1.6 mph

5. You are making your Halloween costume this year. You have 6 yards of fabric and the pattern says that you need to cut it in t
REY [17]

Answer:

The shorter side piece of fabric = x = 8 feet

The longer side piece of fabrics = (x + 2) = 10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Total yards of fabrics = 6 yards

you need to cut it in two pieces where one is two feet longer than the other.

First piece= x feet

Second piece= x+2 feet

Convert 6 yards to feet

6 yards = 18 feet

First piece + second piece = total piece of fabrics

x + (x+2) = 18

x + x + 2 = 18

2x + 2 = 18

2x = 18 - 2

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2

x = 16 / 2

x = 8 feet

8 feet = 2.66667 yards

x + 2

= 8 + 2

= 10 feet

10 feet = 3.33333 yards

The shorter side piece of fabric = x = 8 feet

The longer side piece of fabrics = (x + 2) = 10 feet

Help easy math question!!!
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This ladder and building creates a right triangle with 34 as the hypotenuse and 30 as a side. the Pythagorean theorem says that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 so 900 + b^2 = 1156. b^2 = 256, square root both sides and you get b = 16
