You can put this solution on YOUR website!D=RT
D=30T
D=40(T-4)
SEEING AS THE 2 DISTANCES ARE THE SAME THEN:
30T=40(T-4)

30T-40T=160
-10T=-160
T=-160/-10
T=16 HOURS THEY WILL MEET.

Travel_Word_Problems/240511: I need to solve the following word problem using the system of linear equations in two variables. The word problem I am having trouble with is:
Traveling with the current, a canoe can go 48 miles in 4 hours. traveling against the current, it takes 6 hours to go the same distance. find the speed of the canoe in still water.
I came up with the following linear equations:
12=x+y for speed of canoe with current
8=x-y for speed of canoe against current
I solved for each variable and came up with x=10, y=2.
My question is which one is the correct answer for finding the speed of the canoe in still water? My thought is it is x=10.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!THIS IS A SPECIAL CASE WHERE THE LENGTH IS TWICE THE WIDTH & THERE IS ONLY 1 LENGTH BUT 2 WIDTHS.
L=2W
2W+L=4,000
2W+2W=4,000
4W=4,000
W=4,000/4
W=1,000 ANS. FOR THE EACH OF THE WIDTHS.
L=2*1,000=2,000 ANS. FOR THE 1 LENGTH.
PROOF:
2*1,000+2,000=4,000
2,000+2,000=4,000
4,000=4,000
PROOF:
1,000*2,000=2,000,000 TOTAL AREA.
TEST:
ADD 2 TO THE LENGTH & SUBTRACT 1 FROM EACH OF THE SIDES.
2002*999=1.999,998
ADD 1 TO EACH OF THE WIDTHS & SUBTRACT 2 FROM THE LENGTH.
1998+1001=1,999,998

You can put this solution on YOUR website!slope=-1/2;(-3,4)
Y=mX+b
4=-1/2*-3+b
4=3/2+b
b=4-3/2
b=8/2-3/2
b=5/2=2.5 ans. for the Y intercept.
Y=-X/2+2.5

Money_Word_Problems/240411: A cashier has only five-dollar and twenty-dollar bills in her register. If the register contains 19 bills worth $215, how many five-dollar bills does she have? 1 solutions
Answer 176166 by checkley77(12569) on 2009-11-18 17:58:53 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!T+F=19 OR T=19-F
20T+5F=215
20(19-F)+5F=215
380-20F+5F=215
-15F=215-380
-15F=-165
F=-165/-15
F=11 FIVE DOLLAR BILLS.
19-11=8 20 DOLLAR BILLS.
PROOF:
20*8+5*11=215
160+55=215
215=215

You can put this solution on YOUR website!LET X, X+2 & X+4 BE THE 3 CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS.
X(X+2)=9(X+4)-6
X^2+2X=9X+36-6
X^2+2X-9X-36+6=0
X^2-7X-30=0
(X-10)(X+3)=0
X-10=0
X=10 ANS. FOR THE SMALLER INTEGER.
10+2=12 ANS. FOR THE MIDDLE INTEGER.
10+4=14 ANS. FOR THE LARGEST INTEGER.
PROOF:
10*12=9*14-6
120=126-6
120=120
X+3=0
X=-3 ANS. FOR THE SMALLEST INTEGER.
-3+2=-1 ANS. FOR THE MIDDLE INTEGER.
-3+4=1 ANS. FOR THE LARGEST INTEGER.
PROOF:
-3*-1=9*1-6
3=9-6

Answer 176152 by checkley77(12569) on 2009-11-18 17:28:51 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!LW=117
L=117/W
2L+2W=44
2(117/W)+2W=44
234/W+2W=44
(234+2W^2/W=44
(234+2W^2)/W=44
2W^2+234=44W
2W^2-44W+234=0
2(W^2-22W+117)=0
2(W-13)(W-9)=0
W-13=0
W=13 ANS.
L*13=117
L=117/13
