Matt and Anna Killian are frequent fliers on​ Fast-n-Go Airlines. They often fly between two cities that are a distance of 1980

miles apart. On one particular​ trip, they flew into the wind and the trip took 5.5 hours. The return trip with the wind behind​ them, only took about 4.5 hours. Find the speed of the wind and the speed of the plane in still air.

Answer:

y (plane speed) 400 miles/hr

x (wind speed)  40 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

going into the wind make the plane flew 5,5 hours to get 1980 miles, implies the real travel speed was

1980 / 5,5 = 360 miles/hours, and at the same time is the result of:  

speed plane (y)  in direction A to B  plus wind speed (x) in direction B to A. Notice opposites direction speed, so we have:

y + (-x) = 360          (1)

The return fly  took 4,5 hours so 1980/4,5 = 440 miles/ hours as the result

Y + x = 440             (2)

We have a two equation with two variables system, It could be solved for any of the procedures. We will use the substitution method.

From equation      (1)        y + (-x) = 360         y  - x = 360      y = 360 + x    (1)

In the second equation    

y + x = 440         then we replace y for its value as function of x

(360 + x ) + x = 440

Solving for x        360 + 2x = 440      or    2x = 440 – 360        

 x   (440 - 360)/2

 x = 40 miles/hr

 X (wind speed ) = 40 miles/hr

And replacing the value of x in eq. (1)        y = 360 + 40 = 400

Y (plane speed) = 400 miles /hr

When cai traveled from new orleans to the ozark mountains in arkansas the elevation changed from 7ft below sea level to 2,314 ft
Tanya [424]

Answer:

2321 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Cai traveled from New Orleans to the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas the elevation changes from 7 ft below sea level to 2314 ft above sea level.

If we consider the elevation below sea level as negative and the elevation above sea level as positive, then the elevation changes from - 7ft to +2314 ft.

Therefore, the increment of elevation is by [2314 - (- 7)] = 2321 ft. (Answer)
