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

How do i completely factor 9c^4-36c^2?
VLD [36.1K]
You take out the biggest factor of 9 and 36 which is 9c^2. The factors both have the c variable in common so you take the least exponent and put it with the gcf.

9c^2(c^2+4)

George said if 2 and 4 are factors of a number, then 8 is a factor of the whole number. is he correct explain
Mamont248 [21]
He is correct and incorrect. 2 and 4 can create factors but they can also be factors of other numbers. So 8 can be a factor of bigger whole numbers and can also have it own smaller factors.
