Answer:

The speed of private jet is 216 mph.

The speed of commercial jet is 270 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of private jet be x mph.

Then the speed of commercial jet will be = 2x-162

Equation forms:

10x=8(2x-162)

Solving for x;

10x=16x-1296

=> 10x-16x=-1296

=> -6x=-1296

So, x =216

Hence, the speed of private jet is = 216 mph

The speed of commercial jet is = 2(216)-162 = 270 mph

Commercial jet's speed = 2x-162 (plug this in the equation below)

Private jet's speed = x

Equation:

10(x) = 8(2x-162)
10x = 16x - 1296
6x = 1296
x = 216 (Private jet's speed)

Take the first equation and plug x value in;
2x-162
2(216) - 162 = 270 ( Commercial jet's speed)

  (a)  (4, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the transformation rule to the coordinates of point H.

  (x, y) → (x +8, y +5)

  H(-4, 3) → H'(-4 +8, 3 +5) = H'(4, 8)

Length of a rectangle is 5 cm longer than the width. Four squares are constructed outside the rectangle such that each of the sq
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is one of those questions that can throw you. The problem is that do you include the original rectangle or not. The way it is written it sounds like you shouldn't

However if you don't the question gives you 2 complex answers. (answers with the sqrt( - 1) in them.

Solution

Let the width = x

Let the length = x + 5

Area of the rectangle: L * w = x * (x + 5)

Area of the smaller squares (there are 2)

Area = 2*s^2

x = s

Area = 2 * x^2

Area of the larger squares = 2 * (x+5)^2

Total Area

x*(x + 5) + 2x^2 + 2(x + 5)^2 = 120                 Expand

x^2 + 5x + 2x^2 + 2(x^2 + 10x + 25) = 120     Remove the brackets

x^2 + 5x + 2x^2 + 2x^2 + 20x + 50 = 120      collect the like terms on the left

5x^2 + 25x +  50 = 120                                   Subtract 120 from both sides.

5x^2 + 25x - 70 = 0                                         Divide through by 5

x^2 + 5x - 14 = 0                                               Factor

(x + 7)(x - 2) = 0                                                 x + 7 has no meaning  

x - 2 =  0

x = 2                                                              

Perimeter

P = 2*w + 2*L

w = 2

L = 2 + 5

L = 7

P = 2*2 + 2 * 7

P = 4 + 14

P = 18
