At maximum speed, an airplane tracked 1720 miles against the wind in 5 hours. Flying with the wind, the plane can travel the sam
nataly862011 [7]
Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.

as the plane goes against the wind, the plane is not really flying at "x" mph, but is really going slower, at " x - y ", because the wind is subtracting speed from it.

likewise, when the plane is going with the wind, is not really going at "x" mph, but at " x + y ", is going faster due to the wind, thus

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{against the wind}&1720&x-y&5\\
\textit{with the wind}&1720&x+y&4
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
1720=(x-y)5\implies \frac{1720}{5}=x-y\\\\
344=x-y\implies \boxed{y}=x-344\\
---------------\\
1720=(x+y)4\implies \frac{1720}{4}=x+y\\\\
430=x+y\implies 430=x+\left( \boxed{x-344} \right)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
430=2x-344\implies 774=2x\implies \cfrac{774}{2}=x\implies 387=x

The weight of Lyle’s dog increased from 29.7 pounds to 48.9 pounds in an 8-month period. What was the dog’s average weight incre
krok68 [10]
First subtract the weight the dog weighs now to the weight he was:

48.9
- 29.7
------------
19.2

Then take the number you got which is the weight the dog gain in total, and divide it by the months the dog gained weight to get the average weight gained each month:


19.2/8 = 2.4

The average weight gain each month was 2.4 pounds.

Hope this helped you!

Kyle sells used cars. He is paid $14/hour plus and 8% commission on sales. What dollar amount of car sales must Kyle make to ear
Kazeer [188]
First we have to find how much Kyle earned taking to consideration only 38h at work
So 38*14$=532$ 
Now, to find commission bonus we have to 1200-532=668
Finally, we can find what dollar amount of car Kyle must sell.
We know that 668 is 8% of that number. We can use proportion and cross multiplying, so:
8% ----------- 668
100% --------x
x= \frac{100*668}{8}=8350$ - its the result.

Cuz it’s not on both inequality shaded part but just one of them and also when we substitute one is true and the other one is false

2x + y _< 8

2(8) + 10 _< 8

18 + 10 _< 8

28 _< 8 false

X + y _> 4

8 + 10 -> 4
