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

I need help solving this
pentagon [3]
Y=mx+b where m=slope=(dy/dx) and b=y-intercept (value of y when x=0)

You have two points...(1,-2),(3,2) so

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(2--2)/(3-1)

m=4/2=2 now that you have the slope...

y=2x+b, you can use either point to solve for the y-intercept, I'll use (3,2)

2=2(3)+b

2=6+b

b=-4 so the line is:

y=2x-4

Which of the following are one-dimensional and have infinite length?
Alona [7]
Out of the choices, the entities with only one dimension and have infinite length are the line and ray. The line extends to both sides while the ray is restricted by an endpoint on one side but can extend infinitely to the other side. The answers are therefore letter D and F.
