Answer:

   Speed of private airplane  = 330 mph

   Speed of commercial jet  = 540 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between Denver to Phoenix be s, speed of private airplane be u and speed of commercial jet be v.

We have the speed of the commercial jet is 210 miles per hour faster than the speed of the private airplane

  That is        v =  u + 210     ------ eqn 1

 It takes the commercial jet 1.1 hours for the flight from Denver to Phoenix.

                            s=1.1\times v=1.1v

It takes the private airplane 1.8 hours for the flight from Denver to Phoenix.

                            s=1.8\times u=1.8u

 So we have

                                1.1 v = 1.8 u

                                    v = 1.636 u

Substituting in eqn 1

                          1.636 u =  u + 210

                            0.636 u =  210

                                 u = 330 mph

                           v = 330 + 210 = 540 mph

   Speed of private airplane  = 330 mph

   Speed of commercial jet  = 540 mph

Answer:

The speed of the private airplane is 770 mph, the speed of the commercial airplane is 980 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the speed of private airplane. If the speed of the commercial jet is 210 miles per hour faster than the speed of the private airplane, then the speed of commercial airplane is (x+210) mph.

It takes the commercial jet 1.1 hours for the flight, then it covered the distance of

1.1(x+210)\ miles

It takes the private airplane 1.8 hours for the flight, then it covered the distance of

1.8x\ miles.

The distances are the same, so

1.1(x+210)=1.8x\\ \\1.1x+231=1.8x\\ \\1.8x-1.1x=231\\ \\0.7x=231\\ \\7x=2,310\\ \\x=770

The speed of the private airplane is 770 mph, the speed of the commercial airplane is 770 + 210 = 980 mph.

Find the value of X. Write your answer in simplest form.<br>What does X equal? ​
drek231 [11]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that the figure of similar triangles.

The altitude of the triangle is x.

The length of the left part is 30.

The length of the right part is 15.

We need to determine the value of x.

<u>Value of x:</u>

The value of x can be determined using the geometric mean theorem.

Thus, we have;

\frac{\text { left }}{\text { altitude }}=\frac{\text { altitude }}{\text { right }}

Substituting the values, we have;

\frac{30}{x}=\frac{x}{15}

Cross multiplying, we get;

30 \times 15= x^2

     450=x^2

Taking square root on both sides, we have;

15 \sqrt{2}=x

Thus, the value of x is 15√2

hey, i have this question for algebra nation and i have no clue how to work this problem out... can you please help me?
irina1246 [14]
In algebra the notation is basically just a number, for example, 10, and we take it to the 10th power, you just take the decimal at the end of the 10 and move it 10 spaces to the right, if the number is negative you will move the decimal to the left 10 spaces, the 10th power is a variable and is different with every question

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

  NOT a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the values of x and y and see if the equation is satisfied:

  3(1) -7(-1) = 3 +7 = 10 ≠ 4 . . . . . . the given point is not on the line

(1, -1) is not a solution to the equation.

Which expression means “ multiply 3 by the sum of m and p “
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

3m+3p

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of m and p is expressed as;

m + p (sum means addition)

If 3 is multiplied  by the sum, this is expressed as;

3(m+p)

Expand

3m + 3p

Hence the required expression is 3m+3p
