Answer: 2mp

Step-by-step explanation: Let "b" represent the speed of the boat in still water

Let "c" represent the speed of the current

Let "t" represent time

Downstream(same direction) =(b+c)*t

Upstream(against current)=(b-c)*t

(b+c)*3=24

(b-c)*4=16

3b+3c=24....all sides can be divided by 3 =b+c=8

4b-4c=16.....all sides can be divided by 4 =b-c=4

Use Elimination method

b+c=8

b-c= 4 Subtracting

=====

2c=4

find c by dividing both sides by 2. c=2

if c=2, substitute to get b

b+2=8

 -2=-2

======

b=6

Speed of boat in still water =6mph

rate of current=2mp

Ierofanga [76]

If I use the gym for x hours in a month, the total cost in terms of x will be 1000 + x.

a. Monthly membership fee = $100

Additional amount charged = $1 per hour.

If I use the gym for x hours in a month, the total cost in terms of x will be:

= 1000 + 1(x)

= 1000 + x

b. Also, if the amount charged is $35 per month and $3.50 per hour, the total cost will be:

= 35 + 3.50(x)

= 35 + 3.5x

c. The number of hours that will give same cost will be:

1000 + x = 35 + 3.5x

Collect like terms.

1000 - 35 = 3.5x - x

965 = 2.5x

x = 965/2.5

x = 386

In 386 hours, the total cost will be the same.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 20.2 CM and it's area is 24.4 cm squared what is its length and width
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Length of Rectangle = 4 cm    And

Width of Rectangle = 1.9 cm      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The perimeter of rectangle = 20.2 cm

The area of rectangle is 24.4 cm

Let the length be L

And width be w

Now Area of rectangle = Length × width  

Or,  24.4 = L × W

And Perimeter = 2 (Length + Width ) = 2 (L + W )

Or,   20.2         = 2(L + W )

Or , L + W = 10.1 cm                   ............ 1

Now, (L - W )²  = (L + W)² -4 LW

Or,   (L - W )²  = ( 10.1)² -4 (24.4)

I.e    (L - W )² = 4.41

Or , L - W = 2.1 cm                    .............. 2

SO , From 1 and 2

( L + W) + (L - W) = 10.1 cm - 2.1 cm

Or, 2L = 8

∴  Length = 4 cm

Again , Width = 4 cm - 2.1 cm = 1.9 cm

Hence   Length of Rectangle = 4 cm    And

             Width of Rectangle = 1.9 cm       Answer
