Enter an equation that can be used to solve this problem, where x represents the number of hours that the first plane had been t

raveling.
Two planes left the same airport traveling in opposite directions. The first plane left the airport at 2 P.M. traveling at an average rate of 500 mph. The second plane left the airport at 4 P.M. traveling at an average rate of 550 mph. When will the planes be 3100 miles apart?

X=number of hours that the first plane had been traveling.
(x-2)=number of hours that the second plane had been traveling.

we can suggest this equation:

500x+550(x-2)=3100

Now, we can solve this equation:
500x+550(x-2)=3100
500x+550x-1100=3100
1050x=3100+1100
1050x=4200
x=4200/1050
x=4

Answer:
Equation:  500x+550(x-2)=3100
The amount hours, after the first plane left , when the planes will be 3100 miles would be 4 hours.

Answer the following equations:
Andrew [12]

Step-by-step explanation:

3(t+5) = 9

3t+15 = 9

3t = -6

t = -2

2(f-7) = -10

2f - 14 = -10

2f = 4

f = 2

-(c - 9) = 4

-c + 9 = 4

-c = -5

c = 5

-6(2t + 8) = -84

-12t - 48 = -84

-12t = -36

12t = 36

t = 3

-10 (s + 2) = -57

-10s - 20 = -57

-10s = -37

s = 3.7

7(3w + 8)/3 = -9

By cross multiplication,

7(3w + 8) = -27

21w + 56 = -27

21w = -83

w = -3.95

35/5 = (F - 32)/9

7 = (F - 32)/9

By cross multiplication,

63 = F - 32

63 + 32 = F

95 = F

How do you find the solution to this inequality? please explain to me step by step how to do this
Lapatulllka [165]
She had bread for the hungry, clothes for the naked, and comfort for every mourner, that came within her reach. Slavery soon proved its ability to divest of her heavenly qualities. Under its influence the tender heart became stone, and the lamb-like disposition gave way to one of the tiger-like fierceness. From the excerpt above, which statement best describes the changes in his mistress’s character? She was always loyal only to the laws and to her husband. He felt sorry for her since she was oppressed, too. The change in her character was inexcusable. She was unwilling to face the conflict of betraying her culture for her personal beliefs.

What is the measure of b if a=20 and c=29. using the pythagorean theorem ​
kicyunya [14]

Since a^2+b^2=c^2 becomes 20^2+b^2=29^2, we solve for b:

400+b^2=841

b^2=441

b=21

So the length of b is 21 units.

Hope this helped!
