The speed of the plane will be equal to 240 Mph.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is defined as the ratio of the time distance travelled by the body to the time taken by the body to cover the distance.

Given that:-

  • Mattie Evans drove 350 miles in the same amount of time that it took a turbo propeller plane to travel 1200 miles.
  • The speed of the plane was 170 mph faster than the speed of the car.

The speed of the plane will be calculated as:-

Let the speed of the car will be x mph so the speed of the plane will be

(x + 170)

Now time for the plane:-

Tp = Dp / Sp

Tp = 1200 / (x+170)

Now time for the car:-

Tc = Dc / Sc

Tc = 350 / x

It is given that time taken by both the plane and the car are equal:-

Tp  =  Tc

1200 / x+170 = 350 / x

1200x = 350x +  59500

850x  = 59500

x  =  59500 / 850

x  =  70mph

The speed of the plane will be calculated By:-

Sp = x + 170 = 70 + 170 = 240 Mph

Therefore the speed of the plane will be equal to 240 Mph.

Find the values of x and y.
Harrizon [31]
4x+5x = 90
9x = 90
x = 10

10y + 10 + 5x = 180
10y + 10 +5(10) = 180
10y + 60 = 180
10y = 120

GIVING BRAINLIEST! A rectangular garden has a width of 10 feet and a length of 14 feet. A cement walkway is added around the out
Serjik [45]

Given:

Width of a garden = 10 feet

Length of the garden = 14 feet

Area of the garden and the walkway together = 396 square feet.

To find:

The width of the walkway.

Solution:

A cement walkway is added around the outside of the garden.

Let x be the width of the walkway.

The width of the garden with walkway = 10+2x

The length of the garden with walkway = 14+2x

Area of a rectangle is

Area=length\times width

Area of garden and the walkway together is

Area=(14+2x)\times (10+2x)

396=140+28x+20x+4x^2

396=140+48x+4x^2

396=4(35+12x+x^2)

Divide both sides by 4.

99=35+12x+x^2

0=35-99+12x+x^2

0=-64+12x+x^2

Splitting the middle term, we get

x^2+16x-4x-64=0

x(x+16)-4(x+16)=0

(x+16)(x-4)=0

Using zero product property, we get

(x+16)=0\text{ and }(x-4)=0

x=-16\text{ and }x=4

Width of walkway cannot be negative. So, x=4.

Therefore, the width of the walkways is 4 feet.

Billy has x marbles. Write an
babymother [125]

Answer:

Charlie = 5 + x

Danny = x - 8

Eric = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Billy's Marble = x

Required

Determine a,b and c

a. Charlie's Marble

"5 more" means 5 + or + 5

Since Billy's Marble is represented with x, then Charlie's Marbles will be

Charlie = 5 + x

b. Danny's Marbles

Having "8 fewer" means we have to subtract 8 from Billy's marble;

Since Billy's Marble is represented with x, then Danny's Marbles will be

Danny = x - 8

c. Eric Marbles

Having "three times as " means we have to multiply Bill's marble by 3;

Since Billy's Marble is represented with x, then Danny's Marbles will be

Eric = 3 * x

Eric = 3x
