Rena`s rowboat drifts 23 feet away from the shore, followed by another 9 more feet. What equation represents Rena`s rowboat position ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

d = 23 + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine that we're using a point on the shore as our reference point.  First the rowboat ends  up 23 feet out from this reference point.  Next, the boat drifts another 9 feet out in exactly the same direction as before.

The following equation represents R'ena's rowboat position:  

d = 23 + 9 (measured in feet)
