Answer: The original number was 18.25 or 18 1/4

18.25 plus 6 is 24.25

24.25 times 2 is 48.5

Answer:

18.25

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number

add 6: (x+6)

double it : 2(x+6)

result = 48.5

2 (x+6) = 48.5

x+6 = 24.25

x = 18.25

Displacement and Velocity

The velocity of an object assumed as constant in time can be computed as

$\displaystyle \vec{v}=\frac{\vec{x}}{t}$

Where $\vec x$ is the displacement. Both the velocity and displacement are vectors. The displacement can be computed from the above relation as

$\displaystyle \vec{x}=\vec{v}.t$

The plane goes at 400 Km/h on a course of 120° for 2 hours. We can compute the components of the velocity as

$\displaystyle \vec{v_1}=$

$\displaystyle \vec{v_1}=\ km/h$

The displacement of the plane in 2 hours is

$\displaystyle \vec{x_1}=\vec{v_1}.t_1=.(2)$

$\displaystyle \vec{x_1}=km$

Now the plane keeps the same speed but now its course is 210° for 1 hour. The components of the velocity are

$\displaystyle \vec{v_2}=$

$\displaystyle \vec{v_2}=km/h$

The displacement in 1 hour is

$\displaystyle \vec{x_2}=\vec{v_2}.t_2=.(1)$

$\displaystyle \vec{x_2}=km$

The total displacement is the vector sum of both

$\displaystyle \vec{x_t}=\vec{x_1}+\vec{x_2}=+$

$\displaystyle \vec{x_t}=km$

$\displaystyle \vec{x_t}=$

The distance from the airport is the module of the displacement:

$\displaystyle |\vec{x_t}|=\sqrt{(-746.41)^2+492.82^2}$

$\displaystyle |\vec{x_t}|=894.43\ km$
