Eli was swimming upstream in a river and lost a plastic bottle at bridge A. He noticed the loss after swimming 10 minutes , so immediately started to swim downstream to catch it. He caught it at bridge B, which was 1 mile away from bridge A. What was the rate of water flow in miles per hour?

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
