Mike is driving a boat at 12 mph and is increasing his speed by 0.2 mph each second. Hank is driving a boat at 26.4 mph and is decreasing his speed by 0.7 mph each second. After how many seconds will the boats be traveling the same speed?

After 16 seconds the boats will be traveling the same speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mike is driving a boat at 12 mph and is increasing his speed by 0.2 mph each second.

Mike's spewed after x seconds = 12 + 0.2x

Hank is driving a boat at 26.4 mph and is decreasing his speed by 0.7 mph each second.

Hank's speed after x seconds = 26.4 -0.7 x

As per given,

12 + 0.2x =  26.4 -0.7 x

Subtract 12 from both sides

0.2x= 26.4-12-0.7x

⇒ 0.2x= 14.4-0.7x

Add 0.7xn on both sides , we get

0.2x+0.7x= 14.4

⇒ 0.9x = 14.4

Multiply 10 on both sides, we get

9x=144

Divide both sides by 9 , we get x= 16

Hence, after 16 seconds the boats will be traveling the same speed.

the answer is 844

step-by-step explanation:

it is 844 because if you add 836.50 + 7.5 you will get 844
