Let x be speed of wind.

Speed of plane with the wind = 235 + x

Speed of plane against the wind = 235 - x

use the formula,

Distance = (Rate)(Time),

thus,

Time=\frac{Distance}{Rate}

Time to go 450 miles with wind = time to go 396 miles with wind

\begin{gathered} \frac{450}{235+x}=\frac{396}{235-x} \\ 450(235-x)=396(235+x) \\ 105750-450x=93060+396x \\ 105750-93060=396x+450x \\ 12690=846x \\ x=15 \end{gathered}

The speed of the wind is 15 mph.

Find the equation of the line parallel to the line y = 4x – 2 that passes through the point (1, 5).
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

4x-y+1=0

Step-by-step explanation:

here,given equation of a line id

4x-y-2=0.. eqn(i)

equation of any line parallel to line (i) is

4x-y+k=0...eqn(ii)

since, the line(ii) passes through (1,5)[replacing x=1 and y=5 in eqn(ii), we get]

4*1-5+k=0

or, 4-5+k=0

or,-1+k=0

•°•k=1

substituting the value of k=1 in eqn(ii),

4x-y+1=0 is the required equation of the line.

Write an equation for the translation of y = |x|. 13 units down
olga55 [171]
The idea for transitions for an equation like this is
y = m|x - h| + k
where m = slope
h = how much left or right (note the negative)
k = how much up or down

moving 13 down would mean
k = -13

so
y = |x| - 13

Your dog eats 7/8 lb of food in 4 meals , how many meals will it take your dog to eat 1 lb of food
choli [55]

Answer:

x = 32/7, or 4 4/7 meals

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios, as follows:

 7/8 lb           4 meals

------------        -------------

    1 lb                   x

x will be the number of meals necessary for the dog to eat 1 lb of food.

Cross-multiplying, (7/8)x = 4.

Multiplying both sides by 8/7 is an easy way to isolate x:

(8/7)(7/8)x = (8/7)(4)

or

              x = 32/7, or 4 4/7 meals
