Answer:

200 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Va = the velocity of the airplane

Let Vw = the velocity of the wind

When flying with the wind:

(Va+Vw)*(4 hours) = 4000

4Va + 4Vw = 4000

4Vw = 4000 - 4Va

Vw = 1000 - Va

When flying against the wind:

(Va-Vw)*(7 hours) = 4200 km

7Va - 7Vw = 4200

Substitute 1000-Va for Vw and solve for Va:

7Va - 7(1000-Va) = 4200          

7Va -7000 + 7Va = 4200

14Va = 11200

Va = 800 km/hr

Rate of wind:

Vw = 1000 - Va = 1000 - 800 = 200 km/hour

The numbers x and y are inversely proportional. When the sum of x and y is 42, x is twice y. What is the value of y when x = -8?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

y= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=42.   We know that x plus y equals 42.

x=2y .   We also know that x equals twice y.

2y+y=42.   Since we know that x=2y, we're going to replace x with 2y from the original equation, simplified would be 3y=42.

y=14.   3y=42 simplified is y=14, this is because we divided both sides by 3 (since 3 and 42 are both divisible by 3) (btw divisible by 3 simply means that it can be divided by 3)

x+14=42.   Now that we know what y equals, let's replace y with 14 from the original equation.

x=28.  Now that we know that x=28 and y=14, we know that y is always x/2.

When x=-8, we divide it by 2 and get, -4.

Not absolutely positive as this was all mental math, but hope this helps! :)
