Answer:

Distance = 17.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Note.

Given question is not complete

Given:

Speed upstream = x

Time taken in upstream = 3.5 hour

Speed in return trip = (x+2)

Time taken in return trip = 2.5 hour

Computation:

Distance = speed × time

Distance = x (3.5)

Distance = 2.5 (x+2)

Distance = 2.5x + 5

So,

2.5x + 5 = 3.5 x

1.5 x = 5

x = 5 miles/hour

Distance = x (3.5)

Distance = 5 (3.5)

Distance = 17.5 miles

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two. This can be factored which will find both of them.

y = (x - 3)(x - 1)

x - 3 = 0

x - 3 + 3 = 3

x - 1 = 0

x - 1 + 1 = 1

x = 1

The zeros are (3,0) and (1,0)

Flying against the wind, a jet travels 4400mi in 8 hours. Flying with the wind, the same jet travels 5820mi in 6 hours. What is
Viefleur [7K]
Let J = rate of jet in still airLet W = rate of wind Distance formula:  d = rt   /   r = d/t Flying against the wind the jet flies at a rate of  J - W = 1860 miles/3 hours = 620 miles per hourFlying with the wind the jet flies at a rate of J+W = 9180 miles/9 hours = 1020 miles per hour The average of these 2 rate is the speed of the jet in still air J = (620+1020)/2 = 820 miles per hour J - W = 620  

820 - W = 620
W = 820 - 620 = 200 miles per hour The jet in still air flies at a rate of 820 mph(miles per hour)The wind speed is 200 mph(miles per hour)

Imput the 6x for the Y:

6x=3x+21

move the variable to the left

6x-3x=21

collect like terms:

Let the average profit or loss in year 2006 be x millions, 


The average profit for the 8-year period, is the total sum of the profits (or losses) of each year, divided by 8:

so we have:

\displaystyle{ \frac{3.40+2.10+x+0.60+2.10+0.20+1.30+0.75}{8}=1

\displaystyle{\frac{10.45+x}{8}=1

10.45+x=8

x=8-10.45=-2.45


Answer: the loss in 2006, was 2.45 million dollars
