Amotorboat takes 5 hours to travel 100 kilometers going upstream. the return trip takes
2 hours going downstream. what is the rate of the boat in still water and what is the rate of the current?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say b is the rate of the boat in still water, and c is the rate of the current.

Distance = rate × time

Going upstream:

100 = (b − c) (5)

20 = b − c

Going downstream:

100 = (b + c) (2)

50 = b + c

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

70 = 2b

b = 35

c = 15

The boat's speed is 35 km/h, and the current's speed is 15 km/h.

function 2 has a greater rate of change than function 1

function 2 has a greater y-intercept than function 1

step-by-step explanation:

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}
