7 0

Answer:

7 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If b is the rate of the boat, and s is the rate of the stream, then:

b − s = 4

b + s = 10

Solve the system of equations with substitution or elimination. Using elimination, add the equations together:

2b = 14

b = 7

The boat's rate is 7 mph.

Given f(x) = 3 and g(x) = 5x + 7, find (f + g)(-8).

levacccp [35]

Answer:

-30

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3 so f(-8) = 3;

g(x) = 5x + 7, so g(-8) = 5(-8) + 7 = -33

Then (f + g)(-8) = 3 - 33 = -30

This is the sum of two functions both evaluated at x = -8.

Can someone help me with this

Elanso [62]

Answer:

1,256 dm^2 and 400π dm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference is equal to 2pi times the radius. So 40pi=2pi times the radius so the radius is 20. The area of a circle is pi times the radius squared or 400pi and if using 3.14 for pi this would be 1,256 dm^2
