Answer:
1.08 Miles
How I Found The Answer:
2.65 + 1.52 + 0.75 = 4.92
6 - 4.92 = 1.08
I Said Alexis Wished To Have An Even Number So She Ran 1.08 Miles.
Let 'x' be the distance from THE far bank where 700 is the distance to the NEAR bank
boat one has travelled 700 (rate = 700/unit time) boat two has travelled x rate = x / unit time
boat one then travels x + 400 more and boat two travels 700 + (700+x -400) more when they meet
The time is the same rate x time = distance distance/rate = time equate the distances divided by the respective rates
(700 + x + 400)/700 = ( x + 700 + (700+x-400) )/x
1100x + x^2 = 1400x + 700000
x^2-300x -700000 = 0 quadratic formula yields x = 1000
One boat travels 700 the other 1000 whe they first meet.....width of river = 700+ 1000 = 1700 m
The question is worded a bit strangely (in my opinion anyway), but I think your teacher wants you to describe how exponents work.
Let's say we had the expression 
The base is 5 as its the bottom most value (think of something like the base of a tree or building). The exponent is 3.
The exponent of 3 tells the reader to multiply the base 5 by itself 3 times like so
With larger exponents, it becomes more tedious to write out all the repeated multiplications, which is why many calculators have an exponent button to save time.
Answer: v ≥ 6
This means that Adrian needs to do at least 6 visits.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we know that he gets 20 points just for signing up, so he starts with 20 points.
Now, if he makes v visits, knowing that he gets 2.5 points per visit, he will have a total of:
20 + 2.5*v
points.
And he needs to get at least 35 points, then the total number of points must be such that:
points ≥ 35
and we know that:
points = 20 + 2.5*v
then we have the inequality:
20 + 2.5*v ≥ 35
Now we can solve this for v, so we need to isolate v in one side of the equation:
2.5*v ≥ 35 - 20 = 15
2.5*v ≥ 15
v ≥ 15/2.5 = 6
v ≥ 6
So he needs to make at least 6 visits.
