David is rowing a boat upstream. the river is flowing at a speed of 2 miles per hour. david starts rowing at a speed of 6 miles per hour, but as he gets tired his speed decreases (at a rate of 1 mile per hour, every hour). which equation represents the speed of the boat for x hours spent rowing?
a. y = x + 4
b. y = 6 − 2x
c. y = 4 − x
d. y = x − 4
e. y = 6 − x

c

step-by-step explanation:

it would be see because your formula is f(x)=6x, so 6 times 1 is 6 and you go on and the best answer is c.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
