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?

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

Lkm is equilateral. Solve for x if angle k=9x+24
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangle is equilateral then the measure of each angle is 60°

Equate 9x + 24 to 60 and solve for x

9x + 24 = 60 ( subtract 24 from each side )

9x = 36 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 4

Help help math math math
damaskus [11]

Answer:

2x+y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of such an equation is Ax + By + C = 0 or Ax + By = C. When you rearrange this equation to get y by itself on the left side, it takes the form y = mx +b. This is called slope-intercept form because m is equal to the slope of the line, and b is the value of y when x = 0, which makes it the y-intercept.

How do I work this out I need full answer im lost​
taurus [48]

Answer:

7x = 35cm ; 2x = 10cm

Step-by-step explanation:

7x and 2x are the lengths

7x+2x=45

Then you take 7 + 2 = 9

so is gonna be 9x = 45

then you divide both side with 9

so is gonna be x = 5

Then you take 5 multiply 7 : 2

so 7 x 5 = 35cm

2 x 5 = 10cm
