Answers:
Speed of Wind = 23 km/hr
Speed of Plane in Still Air = 135 km/hr

==================================================
==================================================

Explanation:

First let's go over two definitions

Headwind = wind that is flowing in the opposite direction of the plane's direction of movement; i.e., wind that is coming from the head direction. Headwinds slow the plane down

Tailwind = wind that is coming from the tail of the plane and moving in the same direction as the plane's destination. Tailwinds speed the plane up

=======================

Let
w = speed of wind
p = speed of plane in still air
both speeds are in km/hr

With a tailwind, the plane will speed up so it will go from p to p+w. Therefore, the first equation is
p+w = 158
since the new speed (wind+plane's movement without wind) is 158 km/hr

Similarly, in a headwind, the speed reduces to 112 so 
p-w = 112
because we take the plane's speed p and subtract off the wind speed w that slows down the overall speed

=======================

The system of equations is
p+w = 158
p-w = 112

Add up the equations and notice how w cancels

p+w = 158
p-w = 112
---------
2p+0w = 270

Leading us to
2p = 270
2p/2 = 270/2
p = 135

The speed of the plane in still air is 135 km/hr

=======================

Use p = 135 to find w
p+w = 158
135+w = 158
135+w-135 = 158-135
w = 23

The speed of the wind is 23 km/hr

4 - 5/2 * (1/10x) = 1 what is the value of x
Inga [223]

4 - 5 / 2 * (1/10x) = 1\\

The first step is to identify the order in which the equation must be solved, by following PEMDAS (you might know it as BEDMAS):

Parenthesis (or Brackets)

Exponents

Multiplication and Division

Addition and Subtraction

My advice would be to add parenthesis, following these rules, if you are not very good at finding them immediately by sight.

So:

4 - 5 / 2 * (\frac{1}{10x})  = 1\\\\4 - [(5/2)*(\frac{1}{10x})]=1\\\\4-(2.5*\frac{1}{10x})=1\\\\4-\frac{2.5}{10x}-1=0\\3-\frac{x}{4}=0\\\frac{x}{4}=3\\x=3*4\\x=12

We check our answer:

x=12\\4 - [(5 / 2) * (1/10)*(x)] = 1\\4 - [(5 / 2) * (\frac{1}{10}) * (12))] = 1\\4 - [2.5 * (\frac{1}{10})*12] = 1\\4 - [(\frac{2.5}{10})*12] = 1\\4 - [(\frac{1}{4})*12] = 1\\4 - 3 = 1\\1=1

We are right!

So, x=12.

An online shopping club has 10,000 members when it charges $7 per month for membership. For each $1 monthly
Sonja [21]

Answer:

The function that can be used in the online shopping club about its monthly revenue is:

R = -400x^{2} +7200x+70000

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we're gonna take into account the different values we have in the exercise:

  1. 10,000 members
  2. $7 per month for membership
  3. Loses of 400 members by each $1 monthly increase

How the variable x represents the price increase, we can do the formula below:

  • (10000 - 400x) * (7+x)

In this formula, we represent in the first part that by each 1 in the variable x, the total of members will be reduced in 400, in the second part, we mention that at the same time, the membership fee will be increased in the same value of x. Now we must simplify this function:

  • (10000 - 400x) * (7+x)

We operate the values:

  • 70000+10000x-2800x-400x^{2}

Solve we can:

  • 70000+7200x-400x^{2}

And organize:

  • -400x^{2} +7200x+70000

At the end, how R represents the monthly revenue received by the club, we use that variable for our formula:

  • R=-400x^{2} +7200x+70000

A movie theater sold 4 adult tickets and 7 children's tickets for $83 on friday the next day the theater sold 5 adult tickets an
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: An adult ticket cost $12

A child ticket cost $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price for one adult ticket.

Let y represent the price for one child ticket.

A movie theater sold 4 adult tickets and 7 children's tickets for $83 on Friday. It means that

4x + 7y = 83 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The next day the theater sold 5 adult tickets and 6 children tickets for $90. It means that

5x + 6y = 90 - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 4, it becomes

20x + 35y = 415

20x + 24y = 360

Subtracting, it becomes

11y = 55

y = 55/11 = 5

Substituting y = 5 into equation 1, it becomes

4x + 7 × 5 = 83

4x + 35 = 83

4x = 83 - 35 = 48

x = 48/4 = 12
