Answer:
[tex]\sf a. \quad \dfrac{21}{10+x}+\dfrac{21}{10-x}=5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for calculating speed:
[tex]\boxed{\sf Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}}[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]\boxed{\sf Time=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}}[/tex]
Given values:
x = the current (in mph)Speed = 10 mphDistance = 21 milesTotal time = 5 hoursIf the boat is traveling downstream, the current (x mph) will be pushing the boat faster, and so the boat's speed will increase by x mph.
Therefore, the expression for the time it takes for the boat to travel downstream is:
[tex]\sf Time\:(downstream)=\dfrac{21}{10+x}[/tex]
If the boat is traveling upstream, the current (x mph) will be pushing against the boat and so the boat's speed will decrease by x mph.
Therefore, the expression for the time it takes for the boat to travel upstream is:
[tex]\sf Time\:(upstream)=\dfrac{21}{10-x}[/tex]
Therefore, if the total time it takes to travel downstream and upstream is 5 hours:
[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{21}{10+x}+\dfrac{21}{10-x}=5[/tex]
To solve for x:
[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{21}{10+x}+\dfrac{21}{10-x}=5[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{21(10-x)}{(10+x)(10-x)}+\dfrac{21(10+x)}{(10-x)(10+x)}=5[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{21(10-x)+21(10+x)}{(10+x)(10-x)}=5[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf21(10-x)+21(10+x)=5(10+x)(10-x)[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf 210-21x+210+21x=5(100-10x+10x-x^2)[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf 420=500-5x^2[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf 5x^2=80[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf x^2=16[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf x=\pm4[/tex]
Therefore, the rate of the current is 4 mph.

Simplify the exponents. Please show me how to do the step by step?? I'm not sure how to solve these when they have parentheses
Answers
(2n²•n³•3n¹)²
First, simplify inside the parentheses. We multiply the coefficients and exponents. The coefficients: 2×3=6. and the exponents: 2×3×1=6. All together that gives: [tex](6n^6)^2[/tex]Then multiply the inside of the parentheses by itself since it's the exponent is 2. Therefore we end with [tex]36n^12[/tex]
(y•4y²)³
Same approach. Multiply the inside which gives [tex]4y^3[/tex] Then calculate that to the power of 3.
[tex]4y^3[/tex]×[tex]4y^3[/tex]×[tex]4y^3[/tex]=[tex]64y^9\\[/tex]
(4b³•b)²

Please explain your steps and what you did. Thank you!
Answers
Answer:
a. 3.1 acres
b. 7.44 acres
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
0.25 can also be written as 25%
to find 25% of 12.4 do:
25/100 * 12.4 (cross multiply by 4)
= 25/25 * 3.1
= 1 *3.1
= 3.1
b.
0.6 * 12.4
= 7.44

solve the equation for y: y + 7 = 5/4 (x + 16)
Answers
To solve the equation for y, we need to get y by itself on one side of the equation.
The first step is to get rid of the fraction on the right side of the equation by multiplying both sides by 4:
4y + 28 = x + 16
Then, we need to move the x term to the left side of the equation by subtracting x from both sides:
4y + 28 - x = 16
Then, we need to move the constant term 28 to the left side of the equation by subtracting 28 from both sides:
4y - x = -12
Finally, we have the equation in the form y = (1/4)x - 3, so the solution for y is y = (1/4)x - 3
It is important to note that in this solution we have used the distributive property and followed the order of operations to get to the final result, if you don't follow this steps you might get a different result.
STEPS FOR SOLVING LINEAR EQUATIONy+7=45(x+16)Use the distributive property to multiply 45 by x+16.y+7=45x+20Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.45x+20=y+7Subtract 20 from both sides.45x=y+7−20Subtract 20 from 7 to get −13.45x=y−13Divide both sides of the equation by 45, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.4545x=45y−13Dividing by 45 undoes the multiplication by 45.x=45y−13Divide y−13 by 45 by multiplying y−13 by the reciprocal of 45.x=54y−52SOLVE FOR Yy=45x+13
