Let x be the speed of the slower plane, in km/h. Then the faster plane travels at x+40.
[2 hrs at speed x] + [(2 hrs - 1/2 hour) at speed (x+40)] = 2860(2x) + (1.5)(x+40) = 2860 solve for xx=800x+40=840
Plane 1 800 km/h
Plane 2 840 km/h

-1/2 + 4/9
stira [4]

Answer:

-1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to change both fractions to have like denominators. The LCM of 2 and 9 is 18.

Second, you have to multiply -1/2 by 9/9 to get a denominator of 18. -1/2 x 9/9 is - 9/18.

Third, you have to multiply 4/9 by 2/2 to get a denominator of 18. 4/9 x 2/2 = 8/18.

Fourth, -9/18 + 8/18 = -1/18

Hope this helps!

I now have another question to ask.
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

23.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Sketch a right triangle representing this situation.  The length of the hypotenuse is 26 ft and the angle of elevation from ground to top of ladder is 65°.  The "opposite side" is the reach of the ladder, which we'll call x.

Then:

                        opp

  • sin 65° = ----------
  •                 26 ft

or (26 ft)(sin 65°) = opp side = height off the ground of top of ladder.

Evaluating this, we get:

(26 ft)(0.906) = 23.56 ft, or, rounded off, 23.6 ft

The ladder reaches 23.6 ft up the side of the building.

Write a question that matches this equation.<br><br> 42 ÷ n = 6
Arlecino [84]
If we are supposed to give you like a life situation that matches the equation then I have one:
You have 42 watermelons and you need to divide them into equal groups. Let n equal the number of watermelons in each group. There are 6 groups in total. How many watermelons are in each group? (solve for n).

If this is not what you were looking for then my apologies.
