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

. The total cost (t) is proportional to the number (n) of items purchased at a constant price of $3.
navik [9.2K]

Answer

t = 3n

Step-by-step explanation:

n and t are proportional so you know they will be on the opposite ends of the equal sign. Then you know that the items are purchased at the constant price of $3. That means you do the number of items times 3 to get the total cost.

What is the approximate distance between the points (-3, -4) and (-8, 1) on a coordinate grid
tatyana61 [14]
\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&&(~ -3 &,& -4~) 
%  (c,d)
&&(~ -8 &,& 1~)
\end{array}\\\\\\ %  distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{[-8-(-3)]^2+[1-(-4)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-8+3)^2+(1+4)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{25+25}\implies d=\sqrt{2\cdot 25}\implies d=\sqrt{2\cdot 5^2}\implies d=5\sqrt{2}

nignag [31]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A unit rate is basically which one increases more as time goes on. Now. to make it easier let me explain visual.

You have 50 apples at the start and every hour you get 200 more apples, sweet!

Now let's look at the chart.

The first one is 200x+100, this is wrong since this has a better start but you don't get as much apples.

Same goes for the B and C. The only one that would make sense is D since you're also adding 10 more apples for each one you increase.
