A flight from Boston to London only took 5 hours because of a strong tailwind. The flight back to Boston against the same wind took 6 hours. What was the speed of the wind if the speed of the plane in still air is 550 mph?

Answers

Answer 1

If the flight back to Boston against the same wind took 6 hours. The speed of the wind if the speed of the plane in still air is 550 mph is 50 mph.

How to find the speed of the plane?

Given data:

Boston to London = 5 hours

Flight back to Boston  = 6 hours

Still air = 550 mph

Using this formula

Speed (s) = Distance /Time

We need to formula an equation that will be used to find the speed

Equation: (550 + s)5 = (550 - s)6

So,

Let s represent the speed

(550 + s)5 = (550 - s)6

2750 +5s = 3300 - 6s

Collect like terms

6s +5s = 3300 - 2750

11s = 3300 - 2750

11s = 550

Divide both side by  11s

s= 550/11

s = 50mph

Therefore the speed of the plane is 50mph.

Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form

Answers

Answer:

y = - x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 0) ← 2 points on the line

m = [tex]\frac{0-6}{6-0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-6}{6}[/tex] = - 1

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 6 ) ⇒ c = 6

y = - x + 6 ← equation of line

Answers

Answer:

110 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of Sandra, Peter and Martin be S, P and M pounds respectively.

S +P= 275 -----(1)

S +M= 245 -----(2)

S +P +M= 410 -----(3)

(3) -(1):

S +P +M -(S +P)= 410 -275

S +P +M -S -P= 135

M= 135

Substitute M= 135 into (2):

S +135= 245

S= 245 -135

S= 110

Thus, Sarah weighs 110 pounds.

what do you guys think the answer is?

Answers

Answer: Check out the diagram below

Explanation:

Because point A is the center of dilation, it will stay fixed. It never moves. Everything else around it will move. Specifically, every point but A will move inward closer to A.

To get from A to B, we move 9 spaces. The scale factor 1/2 means we'll move half that amount and 9/2 = 4.5 spaces will be between A' and B'. Relabel A' as point E, and change the name of B' to F.

To go from A to D, we do the following steps

move to the right 9 spacesmove up 6 spaces

Cut each of those values in half to get 9/2 = 4.5 and 6/2 = 3. The results 4.5 and 3 are the horizontal and vertical distances we must travel when going from A' to D'. We'll relabel point D' as point H.

To go from D to C, we move 3 spaces. This cuts in half (again because of the scale factor) to get 3/2 = 1.5 spaces which is the distance from D' to C', aka from H to G.

Everything is marked in the diagram below.

The cost would be 105p

Step-by-step explanation:

If 5 razor blades equals 35 p 5x3=15 so 35x3=105

Answer:

the ansawer would be 105

Step-by-step explanation:

You could figure this out by either multiplying 35 by 3 since 35 is 5 blades, and 5 multiplied by 3 is 15, you can also multiply 35 by 3.

You can also use ratios to figure it out. You'd have to set it up like this; 5 to 35 then you'd have to divide both 5 and 35 by 5. You'd get 1 to 7. Then, finally multiply the ratio by 15, getting 15 to 105.

=> 3x (2x - 1) -2 (2x - 1) = 0

=> (2x - 1) (3x - 2) = 0

2x - 1 = 0

Answer:

x = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] , x = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

6x² = 7x - 2 ( subtract 7x - 2 from both sides )

6x² - 7x + 2 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 6 × 2 = 12 and sum = - 7

The factors are - 3 and - 4

Use these factors to split the x- term

6x² - 3x - 4x + 2 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

3x(2x - 1) - 2(2x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (2x - 1) from each term

(2x - 1)(3x - 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

3x - 2 = 0 ⇒ 3x = 2 ⇒ x = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 1 ⇒ x = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

What is the equation of a line (in standard form) that passes through point A(1,-4) and has a slope of 3/4?

Answers

Answer:

3x-4y=19

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to write the equation of the line in standard form that passes through the point (1, -4) and has the slope of 3/4

Standard form is written as ax+by=c, where a, b, and c are free integer coefficients, but a and b cannot be 0, and a cannot be negative

First, in order to find ax+by=c, we'll need to get slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Since we already know the slope (3/4), we can substitute it into the formula for y=mx+b.

y=3/4x+b

Now we need to solve for b

Since the equation passes through the point (1, -4), we can use it to solve for b

Substitute 1 as x and -4 as y.

-4=3/4(1)+b

Multiply

-4=3/4+b

Subtract 3/4 from both sides

-19/4=b

Now substitute -19/4 as b into the equation

y=3/4x-19/4

Now we have the equation in slope-intercept form, but remember, we want it in standard form

Since x and y are on the same side in standard form, subtract 3/4x from both sides

-3/4x+y=-19/4

Remember that a cannot be negative, and the coefficients are integers (they cannot be fractions)

So in order to clear the fractions and change the sign of the equation, multiply both sides by -4

-4(-3/4x+y)=-4(-19/4)

Multiply

3x-4y=19

Hope this helps!
