Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
1.8 - 3.7x = -4.2x + 0.3
add -4.2x to both sides
1.8 - 0.5x = 0.3
subtract 1.8 from both sides
-0.5x = 0.3 - 1.8
-0.5x = -1.5
divide by -0.5 on both sides
x = 3
GREAT JOB!!!! YOU GOT IT!!! =)
Answer: The Numbers are 15 and 39
Step-by-step explanation: 2(15) + 9 = 39
To answer this item, we have 4 as the speed of the kayaker in still water and the speed of current be y.
When the karayaker moves upstream or against the current, his speed would be 4 - y. Further, if he moves downstream or with the current, the total speed would be 4 + y. The time utilized for the travel is equal to the ratio of the distance and the speed.
Total time = 9/(4 - y) + 9/(4 + y) = 6
We multiply the equation by (4-y)(4+y)
9(4-y) + 9(4 + y) = 6(4-y)(4+y)
Simplifying,
72 = 96 - 6y²
Transposing all the constants to only one side of the equation and rearranging,
6y² = 96 - 72
y² = 4
y = 2
Hence, the speed of the river's current is 2 miles/hr. <em>The answer is letter B.) 2 miles/hour.</em>
Answer:
a. $583
b. $30,316
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Commission last week;
= 5,300 * 11%
= $583
b. Commission in 2011 assuming weekly earnings of $583.
= 583 * 52 weeks
= $30,316
X=1/2
Alternative: 0.5 or 2^-1
