A motorboat takes 3 hours to travel 144 km going upstream. The trip takes 2 hours going downstream. What is the rate of the boat

allsm [11]

Let x be rate of boat in still water
let y be rate of current

we use this equation to relate quantities:
distance = speed · time

we have two unknowns so we might need to create a system of equationss

upstream:

speed (in km/h) = x - y
(we get speed of boat then subtract the current's speed from it since current is going against boat direction)

time = 3 hours

distance = 144 km

downstream:

speed (in hm/h) = x + y
(we get speed of boat then add the current's spd from it since current is going against boat direction)

time = 2 hours

distance = 144 km (same distance upstream and downstream)

using distance = speed times time

for upstream
144 = 3(x-y)
144 = 3x - 3y

for downstream
144 = 2(x+y)
72 = x + y

system of eqns:
144 = 3x - 3y
72 = x + y

solve by substitution: move 72 = x + y into x = 72 - y and subst into other equation for x

144 = 3(72 - y) - 3y
144 = 216 - 3y - 3y
144 = 216 - 6y
144 - 216 = -6y
-72 = -6y
y = 12 km/h

Use x = 72 - y to find x with y = 12: x = 72 - 12 = 60 km/h

rate of boat in still water is 60 km/h
rate of the current is 12 km/h

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Not all tiles will be used. Match each equation with the operation yo

Tanzania [10]

The quadratic equations and their solutions are;

9 ± √33 /4 = 2x² - 9x + 6.

4 ± √6 /2 = 2x² - 8x + 5.

9 ± √89 /4 = 2x² - 9x - 1.

4 ± √22 /2 = 2x² - 8x - 3.

Explanation:

Any quadratic equation of the form, ax² + bx + c = 0 can be solved using the formula x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a. Here a, b, and c are the coefficients of the x², x, and the numeric term respectively.

We have to solve all of the five equations to be able to match the equations with their solutions.

2x² - 8x + 5, here a = 2, b = -8, c = 5. x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(2)(5) / 2(2) = 8 ± √64 - 40/4. 24 can also be written as 4 × 6 and √4 = 2. So x = 8 ± 2√6 / 2×2= 4±√6/2.

2x² - 10x + 3, here a = 2, b = -10, c = 3. x =-b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a =-(-10) ± √(-10)² - 4(2)(3) / 2(4) = 10 ± √100 + 24/4. 124 can also be written as 4 × 31 and √4 = 2. So x = 10 ± 2√31 / 2×2 = 5 ± √31 /2.

2x² - 8x - 3, here a = 2, b = -8, c = -3. x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(2)(-3) / 2(2) = 8 ± √64 + 24/4. 88 can also be written as 4 × 22 and √4 = 2. So x = 8 ± 2√22 / 2×2 = 4± √22/2.

2x² - 9x - 1, here a = 2, b = -9, c = -1. x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-9) ± √(-9)² - 4(2)(-1) / 2(2) = 9 ± √81 + 8/4. x = 9 ± √89 / 4.

2x² - 9x + 6, here a = 2, b = -9, c = 6. x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-9) ± √(-9)² - 4(2)(6) / 2(2) = 9 ± √81 - 48/4. x = 9 ± √33 / 4

To match we solve the monomials.

1. -15u^3 + 5u^3

Adding

-15u^3 + 5u^3=-10u^3

2. 10u^3 +(-5u^3)

Adding

10u^3-5u^3=5u^3

3. 10u^3 + 5u^3

Adding

10u^3 + 5u^3=15u^3

4. 5u^3+ (-10u^3)

Adding

5u^3-10u^3 =-5u^3

The cubit is an ancient unit. Its length equals six palms. (A palm varies from 2.5 to 3.5 inches depending on the individual.) W

olasank [31]

Assuminhg the ark has a shoe-box (cuboid) shape it´s volume would be:

$V_{cuboid}=lenght*width*height$

We have this three measurements ( $l=300cubits;w=50cubits;h=30cubits)$ ) and it can be as simple as replacing them in the equation and solving but they are in all in $cubits$ . We will convert them to $ft$ because the problem requires the answer in $ft^{3}$ . In order to do this we will use the given equivalences:

$1cubit=6palms\\1palm=3.10in$

and another one:

$1ft=12in$

First we will convert from cubits to palms:

$l=300cubits*\frac{6palms}{1cubit}=1800palms\\w=50cubits*\frac{6palms}{1cubit}=300palms\\h=30cubits*\frac{6palms}{1cubit}=180palms\\$

now from $palms$ to $in$ :

$l=1800palms*\frac{3.10in}{1palm}=5580in\\w=300palms*\frac{3.10in}{1palm}=930in\\h=180palms*\frac{3.10in}{1palm}=558in\\$

now from $in$ to $ft$ :

$l=5580in*\frac{1ft}{12in}=465ft\\w=930in*\frac{1ft}{12in}=77.5ft\\h=558in*\frac{1ft}{12in}=46.5ft$

We can calculate the Volume now like this:

$V_{ark}=465ft*77.5ft*46.5ft=1675743.75ft^{3}$

The volume of trhe ark would be $1675743.75ft^{3}$

The length of a picture frame is 6 inches more than the width. For what values of x is the perimeter of the picture frame greate

aniked [119]

Answer:

x > 36 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the width of the picture frame.

Then x + 6 = the length of the frame.

The formula for the perimeter P of a rectangle is'

P = 2l + 2w.

So, the condition is

2l + 2w > 156

2(x + 6) + 2x > 156 Distribute the 2

2x + 12 + 2x > 156 Combine like terms

4x + 12 > 156 Subtract 12 from each side

4x > 144 Divide each side by 4

x > 36

The perimeter of the picture frame will be greater than 156 in if x > 36 in.

avanturin [10]

Hmm... well, here ya go.

1.50 ÷ 0.05 = 30
So, the total is $30
As for the tax rate, including the total, it would be $31.50.

Hope I helped.
