A trimaran boat, with a top speed of 48 knots, won the tournament cup in 2010. Its top
speed is 6 knots more than 3.5 times the top speed of the winner monohull in the 2007
tournament. Find the top speed of the monohull in the 2007 tournament.

Respuesta :

Answer:

12 knots

Step-by-step explanation:

Top speed of the monohull in the 2007 tournament is x, then:

  • 48 = 6 + 3.5x
  • 3.5x = 48 - 6
  • 3.5x = 42
  • x = 42/3.5
  • x = 12

Answer is 12 knots
