What is the rate of the boat in still water and what is the rate of the current?

Mathematics

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

two jets leave an airport at the same time in opposite directions. the first jet is traveling at 323 mph and the other at 347 mp
skelet666 [1.2K]

Remark

This may be a little confusing, but because they are travelling in opposite directions, the distances add when you want to get how far apart they are.

d1 + d2 = 1541

Equation

Let the time this happens = t

d1 = 323*t

d2 = 347*t

323*t + 347*t = 1541 Combine like terms on the left.

670t = 1541 Divide by 670

t = 1541/670

t = 2.3 hours pass before the distance of 1541 miles are between the two planes. You might need the answer to be 2 hours 18 minutes.

Please help 2х -3y =18
siniylev [52]

Answer:

x = 3(6 + y)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for x

Add 3y to both sides.

2x = 18 + 3y

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 18 + 3y/2

Factor out the common term 3.

x = 3(6 + y)/2

Nadia has £5 to buy pencils and rulers. Pencils are 8p each. Rulers are 30p each. She says “I will buy 15 pencils. Then I will b
guapka [62]

Answer:

Total pencils: 17

Total rulers: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

"I will buy 15 pencils."

15 * 8p = £1.20

15 pencils

"Then I will buy as many rulers as possible."

£5 - £1.20 = £3.80

£3.80/30p = 12 remainder 20p

12 rulers

"With my change, I will buy more pencils.”

20p/8p = 2 remainder 4 p

2 pencils

Total pencils: 17

Total rulers: 15
