Let 'x' be the distance from THE far bank where 700 is the distance to the NEAR bank
boat one has travelled 700 (rate = 700/unit time) boat two has travelled x rate = x / unit time
boat one then travels x + 400 more and boat two travels 700 + (700+x -400) more when they meet
The time is the same rate x time = distance distance/rate = time equate the distances divided by the respective rates
(700 + x + 400)/700 = ( x + 700 + (700+x-400) )/x
1100x + x^2 = 1400x + 700000
x^2-300x -700000 = 0 quadratic formula yields x = 1000
One boat travels 700 the other 1000 whe they first meet.....width of river = 700+ 1000 = 1700 m

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
39 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a cyclist travelled at an average rate of 13 miles per hour for 3 hours and are asked to how far she travelled in miles.
To solve, we need to take into mind that for three hours, the cyclist drove 13 miles per hour.
Meaning that for every hour, 13 miles were driven.
Therefore we need to multiply 13 by 3 to get our answer :
13 miles * 3hrs
39 miles
Answer: The image is attached.
Step-by-step explanation:
A Dilation is defined as a transformation in which the image and the pre-image have the same shape, but their sizes are different.
When the scale factor is greater than 1, the image obtained after the dilation is greater than the pre-image and it is an "Enlargement".
When the scale factor is is between 0 and 1, the image obtained after the dilation is smaller than the pre-image and it is an "Reduction".
In this case we know that the scale factor is:
Since:
It is an Enlargement.
You can identify that the vertices of the pre-image shown in the figure, are:
So you need to multiply the coordinates of those vertices by 4 in order to get the coordinates of the image;
Now you can draw it (The image is attached).
