T=d/v

540/(230+w)=380/(230-w)

540(230-w)=380(230+w)

124200-540w=87400+380w

124200-920w=87400

-920w=-36800

w=40

So the wind speed is 40 miles per hour.

Scilla [17]

Answer:

6x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-(6-x)

First you distribute the negative to (6-x) which makes -6+x, then you just subtract that from 5x which makes 5x-6+x then you just simplify into 6x-6.

A can in the shape of a right cylinder is filled with 10W-40 oil. The weight of 10W-40 oil is 0.857 gram per cubic centimeter. I
Leya [2.2K]
To solve this, we have to find the volume of the cylinder first.  The formula to be used is V =  \pi  r^{2} h

Given:V= ?r= 6cmh= 10cm
Solution:V =  \pi  r^{2} h
V= (3.14)(6cm)^{2} x 10cmV= (3.14)(36cm^{2}) x 10cmV= (113.04cm^{2}) x 10cmV= 1130.4cm^3
Finding the volume of the cylinder, we can now solve what the weight of the oil is.  Using the formula of density, Density = mass/volume, we can derive a formula to get the weight.
Given:Density = 0.857 gm/cm^3Volume = 1130.4 cm^3
Solution:weight = density x volumew= (0.857 gm/cm^3) (1130.4cm^3)w= 968.7528 gm
The weight of the oil is 968.75 gm.
