Answer:

  4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Travel time is proportional to distance and inversely proportional to speed. If c represents the speed of the current in miles per hour, an equation for the total trip time is ...

  825/(29 -c) +825/(29 +c) = 58 . . . . . . hours travel time

  825(29 +c) +825(29 -c) = 58(29 -c)(29 +c)

  58c² -928 = 0 . . . . . . . rearrange to standard form

  58(c -4)(c +4) = 0 . . . . factor

Values of c that satisfy this equation are 4 and -4. For the purpose here, we'll choose the positive solution.

The speed of the current is 4 miles per hour.

Yesterday a chef used 36 eggs to make 8 chocolate souffles and 3 lemon meringue pie. The day before, he made 2 chocolate souffle
Masteriza [31]

Answer: Well first one chocolate souffles uses 3 eggs and each lemon maringue uses 4

Step-by-step explanation: First what i did was look at the question and it shows that there is two sets, so you have to plug in some random numbers and i started at o and if you do 8*1 you would have 1 egg per each souffles and you would have 28 eggs left and that won't work because 28/3 gives some long and then i tried 2... and 8*2 is 16 so you would have 20 eggs left and of course another long answer. But if you try three, 8*3 it gives you 24 so 36-24 and you get 12 and 3*4 is 12.. so then i plugged the same numbers in for the second part.. 3*2=6 and 4*2=8 and 6+8=14

if you need better more im here to help... have a good dayy!! (✿◡‿◡)
