$v=\frac{s}{t},\ where\ V-speed,\ s-distance,\ t-time\\v*t=s\\\\
 \left \{ {{v_1*t_1=s} \atop {v_2*t_2=s}} \right.\\\\t_1=6,5-t_2\\\\ \left \{ {{220(6,5-t_2)=s} \atop {280*t_2=s}} \right. \\\\
220(6,5-t_2)=280*t_2\\
1430-220t_2=280t_2\ \ \ |Add\ 220t_2\\
1430=500t_2\ \ \ |Divide\ by\ 500\\t_2=2,86h\\\\
s=t_2*v_1\\
s=2,86*280=800,8\\
2s=1601,6miles\\\\
Plane\ flew\ 1601,6\ miles\ in\ round\ trip.$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 want to go

If there are 30 people, we can find our answer pretty easily as 30 is 10 times more than 3.

2/3 = 20/30

So 20 people would like to go :O

Hope this helps, have a nice day :))

(3-2) * 180 = 180

Bottom Triangle
25 + 51 + x = 180
x = 104

Top Triangle
104 + 34 + x = 180
x = 42

|x - 3| - 1 = 5

x - 3 - 1 = 5

x - 4 = 5

x = 9

-(x - 3) - 1 = 5

-x + 3 - 1 = 5

-x + 2 = 5

-x = 3

x = - 3

x = -3 , 9 matched the answers on the number line

Answer is B) |x - 3| - 1 = 5

Answer:

1.63 cm (across the centerline from release)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume time starts counting when we release the weight from its fully-extended downward position, then the position at 1.15 seconds can be found from ...

h(t) = -7cos(2πt/4)

h(1.15) = -7cos(π·1.15/2) = -7(-0.233445) ≈ 1.63412 . . . cm

That is, 1.15 seconds after the weight is released from below the resting position, it will be 1.63 cm above the resting position.

If it is released from above the resting position, it will be 1.63 cm below the resting position at t=1.15 seconds.
