Answer:the plane in still air is 904 km/h

the rate of the wind is 104 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the rate or speed of the plane in still air.

Let y represent the rate or speed of the wind.

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 4000 kilometers in 5 hours. This means that the total speed of the airplane would be (x - y) km/h

Distance = speed × time

Therefore

4000 = 5(x - y)

4000 = 5x - 5y - - - - - - - - -1

Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 5040 kilometers in 4 hours. This means that the total speed of the airplane would be (x + y) km/h. Therefore,

5040 = 4(x + y)

5040 = 4x + 4y - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 5, it becomes

16000 = 20x - 20y

20160 = 20x + 20y

Subtracting, it becomes

- 4160 = - 40y

y = - 4160/-40

y = 104

Substituting y = 104 into equation 1, it becomes

4000 = 5x - 5 × 104

4000 = 5x - 520

5x = 4000 + 520

5x = 4520

x = 4520/5 = 904

Y = mx + b, where m = slope = rise/run and b, the y intercept value

m = 1/1 = 1, then y = x + b.
We notice that y intercept is = - 1
And the equation is:

y = x - 1

Answer: it will take 14 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A savings account is started with an initial deposit of $600. This means that the principal P is

P = 600

It was compounded annually. This means that it was compounded once in a year. Therefore,

n = 1

The rate at which the principal was compounded is 2.1%. So

r = 2.1/100 = 0.021

The duration of time that for which the money stayed in the account is t years. So

Time = t

The formula for compound interest is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years. Therefore,

a) the equation to represent the amount of money in the account as a function of time in years would be

A = 600 (1+0.021/1)^1×t

A = 600 (1.021)^t

b) the amount of time it takes for the account balance to reach $800 would be

800 = 600 (1.021)^t

Dividing both sides of the equation by 600, it becomes

1.33 = (1.021)^t

t = 14

If six women paint a fence in two days, how long does it take for two women to paint the fence?
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

I know this because you would divide 6 women by 3 to get two women so you would multiply the two days by 3 to get 6 days
