Answer:

The speed of the boat in still water is 10 miles / hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The trip there, and the trip back are the same -- 30 miles

Let the rate of the boat = x

Let the rate of the water = y

30 = 2*(x + y)

30 = 6*(x - y)

Divide the top equation by 2

Divide the bottom equation by 6

15 = x + y

<u>5 = x - y </u> Add the equations together.

20 = 2x Divide by 2

20/2 = x

x = 10

How to solve (2.31*10^-6)+(5.87*10^-4)

S_A_V [24]

We want to calculate the following

$2.31\cdot10^{-6}+5.87\cdot10^{-4}$

Using the properties of exponents, we have that

$10^{-6}=10^{-4}\cdot10^{-2}$

So we have

$2.31\cdot10^{-6}+5.87\cdot10^{-4}=2.31\cdot10^{-2}\cdot10^{-4}+5.87\cdot10^{-4}$

So, if factor 10^-4 on the right side, we have

$10^{-4}(2.31\cdot10^{-2}+5.87)$

Note that

$2.31\cdot10^{-2}=0.0231$

Then,

$5.87+2.31\cdot10^{-2}=5.87+0.0231=5.8931^{}$

So we have that

$2.31\cdot10^{-6}+5.87\cdot10^{-4}=5.8931\cdot10^{-4}$
