Amotorboat travels 9 miles downstream (with the current) in 30 minutes. the return trip upstream (against the current) takes 90 minutes.

which system of equations can be used to find x, the speed of the boat in miles per hour, and y, the speed of the current in miles per hour? recall the formula d = rt.

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know what systems you have to choose , but a system is:

18 = x+y

6 = x-y

x=12

y=6

so the boat moves at 12 miles per hour and the stream moves at 6 miles per hour

i can answer this question sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
