Answer:

speed of the boat = 100 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = speed of the boat

upstream speed = x - 4

downstream speed = x + 4

time = 24/(x - 4) = 26/(x + 4)

Cross multiply:

24(x + 4) = 26(x - 4)

24x + 96 = 26x - 104

104 + 96 = 26x - 24x

200 = 2x

x = 100 mph

What is the value of x if e^3x+6 = 8?

topjm [15]

We can write any number n in the form $e^{\ln(n)}$ , since $e^x$ and $\ln(x)$ are inverse functions, so that

$e^{3x+6} = 8 \iff e^{3x+6} = e^{\ln(8)}$

The bases are the same on both sides, so the exponents must be equal.

$3x + 6 = \ln(8)$

Solve for x :

$3x = \ln(8) - 6$

$x = \boxed{\dfrac{\ln(8) - 6}3}$
