<span>Traveled Downstream a distance of 33 Mi and then came right back. If the speed of the current was 12 mph and the total trip took 3 hours and 40 minutes.
Let S = boat speed in still water then (s + 12) = downstream speed (s -12) = upstream speed
Given Time = 3 hours 40 minutes = 220 minutes = (220/60) h = (11/3) h Time = Distance/Speed
33/(s +12) + 33/(s-12) = 11/3 3{33(s-12) + 33(s +12)} = 11(s+12) (s -12) 99(s -12 + s + 12) = 11(</span> s^{2} + 12 s -12 s -144) 99(2 s) = 11(s^{2} -144) 198 s/11 = (s^{2} -144) 18 s = (s^{2} -144) (s^{2} - 18 s - 144) = 0 s^{2} - 24 s + 6 s -144 =0 s(s- 24) + 6(s -24) =0 (s -24) (s + 6) = 0 s -24 = 0, s + 6 =0 s = 24, s = -6 Answer) s = 24 mph is the average speed of the boat relative to the water.

Answer:
x = 8 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the known values into the equation and solve for x.
f(x) = 3x -1
24 = 3x -1 . . . . . use 24 for f(x)
25 = 3x . . . . . . . add 1 to both sides
25/3 = x . . . . . . divide both sides by 3
The input is x = 8 1/3.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
80.08 = (8 * 101) + (8 * 1/102)
80.08 = (8 * 10) + (8 * 1/100)
80.08 = 80 + 8/100
80.08 = 80 + 0.08
