Two airplanes left the same airport and arrived at the same destination at the same time. The first airplane left at 8:00 a.m. a

nd traveled at an average rate of 496 miles per hour. The second airplane left at 8:30 a.m. and traveled at an average rate of 558 miles per hour. Let x represent the number of hours that the first plane traveled.
How many hours did it take the first plane to travel to the destination?



Enter an equation that can be used to solve this problem in the first box.

Solve for x and enter the number of hours in the second box.

The formula for distance is equal to:

d = v * t

where d is distance, v is velocity or speed, and t is time

 

Since the distance travelled by the two airplane is similar, therefore we can create the initial equation:

 

v1 * t1 = v2 * t2

 

We know that v1 = 496, and v2 = 558 so:

 

496 t1 = 558 t2

or

x = 558 t2 / 496

 

We also know that airplane 1 travelled 30 minutes (0.5 hours) earlier than airplane 2, therefore:

 

x = t2 + 0.5

 

Hence,

496 (t2 + 0.5) = 558 t2

496 t2 + 248 = 558 t2

t2 = 4 hours

 

x = t2 + 0.5 = 4 + 0.5

x = 4.5 hours

 

 

So the equation is:

x = 558 t2 / 496

 

And the first plane travelled:

x = 4.5 hours

Average speed =   (distance final - distance initial)/(time final - time initial)
Average speed = (30-0)km /(100 -0)min = 3/10 km/min

3/10 km/min *60 min/1 h = 180/10 km/h= 18 km/h

Given f(x)=3x+1, solve for x when f(x)=7
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

X = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x + 1

f(7) = 3(7) + 1

= 21 + 1

= 22

Function B best models the researcher's data because it passes through most of the points.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

A graph of best fit can be determined by drawing a straight line or curve on a scatter plot so that the number of points above the line and below the line is about equal and the graph passes through most of the points.

Function B best models the researcher's data because it passes through most of the points.
