If a boatman rows his boat 35km up stream and 55km downstream in 12 hours and he can row 30km upstream and 44 km downstream in 10hr , then the speed of the stream and that of the boat in still water

To answer this item, we let x be the speed of the boat in still water. The speed of the current, we represent as y.

When the boat travels upstream or against the current, the speed is equal to x – y and x + y if it travels downstream or along with the current.

The time it takes for the an object to travel a certain distance is calculated by dividing the distance by the speed.

First Travel:    35 / (x – y)   + 55 / (x + y) = 12

Second travel: 30 / (x – y)   + 44 / (x + y) = 10

Let us multiply the two equations with the (x-y)(x+y)

This will give us,

              35(x + y) + 55(x – y) = 12(x-y)(x+y)

              30(x + y) + 44(x – y) = 10(x-y)(x+y)

Using dummy variables:

Let a = x + y and b be x – y

                35a + 55b = 12ab

                30a + 44b = 10ab

From the first equation,

                     b = 35a/(12a – 55)

Substituting to the second equation,

                30a + 44(35a/(12a – 55)) = 10a(35a/(12a-55))

The value of a is 11.

              b = 35(11)/(12(11) – 55))

              b = 5

Putting back the equations,

        x + y = 11

       x – y = 5

Adding up the equations give us,

  2x = 16

    x = 8 km/hr

The value of x, the speed of the boat in still water, is 8 km/hr. 

answer: y=4000x+14000

the most boring thing ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.
