Answer:

1150 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of parachute = 207 kilometers per hour

Speed of parachute in meter /second = (207 x 1000)/ (60 x 60)

= 57.5 meter /second  

Parachute fall for 20 seconds with a speed of 57.5 meter /second, Thus the distance covered in 20 seconds  

= 57.5 meter /second x 20 seconds

=  1150 meters.

<span>The speed is 57.5 m/s and the parachutist will fall 1150 m in 20 seconds.

Explanation<span>:
We start out with the ratio 207 km/1 hr.

We know that 1 km = 1000 m; this means 207 km = 207*1000 = 207000 m. This gives us 207000 m/1 hr.

We know that 1 hr = 60 minutes, so we have 207000 m/60 min.

We also know that 1 min = 60 seconds, so 60 min = 60*60 = 3600 sec; this gives us 207000 m/3600 sec.

Dividing this, we get 57.5 m/s.

In 20 seconds, the parachutist will fall 57.5(20) = 1150 m.</span></span>

Is my solution correct?
nlexa [21]

Hello there!

Yes, your solution is correct! A way to check it is replacing the value you found for x into x in the equation.

3(2-x) = 7 - 4x ⇒ 3(2-1) = 7 - 4(1)

And now solve  3(2-1) = 7 - 4(1).

3(1) = 7 - 4(1)

3 = 7 - 4

3 = 3

Since it is a true statement that 3 is equal to 3, it means your solution of x = 1 is correct. Good job! :)

A is a horizontal line on 3

B will cross the y axis at (0, -3), and the x axis (3, 0)

D will cross the y axis (0, 1) and the x axis (-0.5, 0)

As C does not have a y-intercept or x-intercept, it will it (0, 0)
