Answer:
The speed of the boat in still water is 18 mph.
The speed of the current is 2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.
Let y represent the speed of the current.
When the boat goes against the current, the speed is 16 mph. Assuming it traveled against the current while going upstream, its total speed would be (x - y) mph. It means that
x - y = 16 (equation 1)
Going downstream, the boat averages 20 mph. Assuming it traveled with the current, its total speed would be (x + y) mph. It means that
x + y = 20 (equation 2)
Adding both equations, it becomes
2x = 36
x = 36/2
x = 18 mph
Substituting x = 18 into equation 1, it becomes
18 - y = 16
y = 18 - 16
y = 2 mph
Answer:
r = -39
Step-by-step explanation:
So we are trying to solve the equation for r.
-6(2r + 8) = -10(r - 3)
Divide both sides by -2. (This will make distributing much easier.)
3(2r + 8) = 5(r - 3)
Distribute the 3 on the left side and the 5 on the right side,
6r + 24 = 5r - 15
Subtract 24 from both sides.
6r = 5r - 39
Subtract 5r from both sides.
r = -39
So now we have solve the equation.

Answer:
y=2x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
c) 62.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent number of customers came in on the fifth day.
We have been given that the mean number of customers for those four days is 52. So total number of customers on 4 days would be 4 times 52 that is 208 customers.
We know that mean of a data set is equal to sum of all data points divided by number of data points.
Total number of customers on 5 days would be 
and total number of days is 5.
Since we need a mean of 54, so we can set mean of 5 days equal to 54 as:
Multiply both sides by 5:
Therefore, 62 customers must come in on the fifth day to make the five-day mean 54 and option 'c' is the correct choice.
