Answer: s = 1.44
Step-by-step explanation:
11 - 18*s = -15
-18*s = -15 - 11
-18*s = -26
18*s = 26
s = 26/18
s = 13/9
s = 1.44
We calculate both velocities:
upstream 8 miles in 2 hours = 4 miles / hour
downstream 8 miles in 1 hour = 8 miles / hour
ps -stream speed = 4 mph
ps + stream speed = 8 mph
Adding both equations
2 ps = 12 mph
paddling speed = 6 mph
stream speed = 2 mph
Length (L): 2w + 3
width (w): w
border (b): 
Area (A) = (L + b) * (w + b) <em>NOTE: This is assuming the width also has a border</em>
= (2w + 3 + ) * (w + )
= 
= 
= 
Hello!
We know that
(x - 10) * 3 = 2x
Distribute the 3
3x - 30 = 2x
Subtract 2x from both sides
x - 30 = 0
Add 30 to both sides
x = 30
The answer is 30
Hope this helps!
