Let Va = the velocity of the airplane Let Vw = the velocity of the wind When flying with the wind: (Va+Vw)*(4 hours) = 4000 4Va + 4Vw = 4000 4Vw = 4000 - 4Va Vw = 1000 - Va When flying against the wind: (Va-Vw)*(7 hours) = 4200 km7Va - 7Vw = 4200 Substitute 1000-Va for Vw and solve for Va: 7Va - 7(1000-Va) = 4200 7Va -7000 + 7Va = 4200 14Va = 11200 Va = 800 km/hr Rate of wind: Vw = 1000 - Va = 1000 - 800 = 200 km/hour

= (4)(102)
= 408 (408) (0.04) = 16.32 16.32/7.2
= 2.26666667
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) <u>Jamal spent:</u>
<u>Isaiah spent:</u>
<u>The equation is:</u>
b) <u>Solving the equation</u>
- 2x = 3x - 6.75
- 3x - 2x = 6.75
- x = 6.75
c) <u>Jamal's items cost </u>
<u>Isaiah's items cost </u>
- $6.75 - $2.25 = $4.50 each
