The speed of the plane will be 875km/h and the speed of the wind will be 125km/h.

<h3>How to calculate the speed?</h3>

It should be noted that the speed is calculated as:

= Distance/Time

Based on the information, the DC10 airplane travels 3000 km with a tailwind in 3 hr. It travels 3000 km with a headwind in 4 hr.

Therefore, (v + w) = 3000/3

v + w = 1000 .... I

(v - w) = 3000/4

v - w = 750 .... ii

We'll then add both equations together. Therefore, the speed of the plane will be 875km/h and the speed of the wind will be 125km/h.

the combined area of two squares is 45 square cm. each side one square is twice as long as a side of the other Square. what is t
anygoal [31]
6 centimeters



x will represent the side length of the smaller square, so 2x is the side length of the bigger square.

x*x + 2x*2x = 45

x^2 + 4x^2 = 45

5x^2 = 45

x^2 = 9 (Divide by 5)

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(9)

x = 3

2x = 6 (Multiply by 2)

What are the solutions to the following system of equations?<br><br> x − y = 6<br> y = x2 −6
anastassius [24]

The solutions to the given system of equations is (0, -6) and (1, -5)  

<h3>Simultaneous equations</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the solutions to the given system of equations

The equations are

x − y = 6 --------- (1)

y = x² −6 ---------- (2)

From equation (1)

x - y = 6

∴ x = 6 + y ------- (3)

Substitute into equation (2)

y = x² −6

y = (6+y)² −6

y = (6+y)(6+y) -6

y = 36 + 6y + 6y +y² -6

y = 36 + 12y + y² - 6

Simplifying

y² + 12y - y + 30 = 0

y² + 11y + 30 = 0

Solve quadratically

y² + 11y + 30 = 0

y² + 6y + 5y + 30 = 0

y(y +6) +5 (y +6) = 0

(y + 5)(y + 6) = 0

y + 5 = 0 OR y + 6 = 0

y = -5 OR y = -6

Substitute the values of y into equation (3)

x = 6 + y

When y = -5

x = 6 + (-5)

x = 6 -5

x = 1

When y = -6

x = 6 + (-6)

x = 6 -6

x = 0

∴ When x = 0, y = -6 and when x = 1, y = -5

Hence, the solutions to the given system of equations is (0, -6) and (1, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

a squared by b squared=c squared

36 + 16 is 52, so then you need to square root 52 which is 7.2111 to 4 decimal places. I hope you benefit from this. Cheers
