Determine the solution
We'll solve using elimination method.
Subtract the first equation from the second:







Make x the subject:



Substitute
for x in the first equation



Make y the subject




Hence, the solution is:

Answer: the fourth choice: <span>No, the addition symbol was dropped in the second expression
Justification:
1) The right operation is: </span><span>(4.5m + 7/8) - 9 </span><span>= 4.5m + (7/8 - 9), this is you have to keep the + operator, since you are just grouping the terms in an alternate form.
2) Droping the + operator leads incorrectly to the multiplication of the first term, 4.5m to the terms in parenthesis, instead to the addition, which is what corresponds.

We can find the height of the altitude by the ratio of sin. See my attachment.
sin of angle = side in front of the angle / hypotenuse
sin x = height/distance
If the two pilot is rising in an hour, then the first distance is 400 miles, the second distance is 300 miles.
Find the height of first pilotheight/distance = sin x
height/400 = sin 30°
height = sin 30° × 400
height = 1/2 × 400
height = 200
Find the height of second pilotheight/distance = sin x
height/300 = sin 40°
height = sin 40° × 300
height = 0.642 × 300
height = 192
So the first pilot traveling 400 mph with 30° is more quickly to reach high altitude than the second pilot traveling 300 mph with 40°
