Let p and w represent the speed of the plane and the speed of the wind, respectively.
.. speed = distance/time
.. p +w = 720/3 = 240
.. p -w = 720/4 = 180

Add the two equations to eliminate w.
.. 2p = 420
.. p = 210
.. w = p -180 = 30

The speed of the wind is 30 mph.
The speed of the plane in still air is 210 mph.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

a. P)  = 0.25

b.  P) = 0.25

c. P) = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 1/4  as 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4  = 0.25   This becomes reduced as we are multiplying one complete probability journey by another complete probability journey.

b) see above as 1/2 x 1/4 and 1/4 x 1/2 = 2.5 = 1/4 = 0.25

or we can Set to 1 and 1 - 3/4 = 1/4. = 0.25.

c)  1/2 as half of the journeys have traffic jams so its 1 -  1/2 = 1/2 = 0.5

Please help with this problem
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by (x-5) and expand:

(x+4)/(x-5)*(x-5) = -2(x-5)

x+4 = -2x+10

Subtract 4 from both sides:

x+4-4 = -2x+10-4

x = -2x+6

Add 2x to both sides:

x+2x = -2x+6+2x

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2
