99 and 59
X=big number
X-40 = small
X+ x-40 =158
2X -40=158
2X =198
X=99. Big number is 99
99-40 =59
99+59=158
Answer:
= 10560 strides
Step-by-step explanation:
if 1 mile = 2640strides
4 miles = <u>4 miles x 2640 strides</u>
mile
= 10560 strides
Answer:
10 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
speed of boat in still water = x
speed of current = 5
speed of boat with current (downstream) = x + 5
speed of boat against current (upstream) = x - 5
distance downstream = 9
distance upstream = 3
time = t
speed = distance/time
distance = speed × time
downstream:
9 = (x + 5)t
upstream:
3 = (x - 5)t
9 = xt + 5t
3 = xt - 5t
9 = xt + 5t
-3 = -xt + 5t
-----------------
6 = 10t
t = 0.6
9 = (x + 5)0.6
15 = x + 5
x = 10
