The speed of the plane is 200 mph.

We start out with the formula d=rt, where d is distance, r is rate (speed) and t is time.  We know the time is the same for both vehicles, so we will solve this formula for t:

d=rt

Divide both sides by r:
d/r = t

Since the time is the same, we will have a proportion in the form

d/r = d/r

The speed of the car is x, and it travels 150 miles.  The speed of the plane is 150 faster than x, or x+150, and it travels 600 miles:

150/x = 600/(x+150)

Cross multiplying we have:
150(x+150) = 600*x
150x + 22500 = 600x

Subtract 150x from both sides:
150x + 22500 - 150x = 600x - 150x
22500 = 450x

Divide both sides by 450:
22500/450 = 450x/450
50 = x

The speed of the car is 50, and the speed of the plane is 50+150 = 200

Answer:

(a) Domain: x > 4

(b) Range: y < -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is the set of x-values that can be inputted into function f(x).

Range is the set of y-values that can be outputted by function f(x).

We see that our x-values span from 4 to infinity. Since it is an open dot, we cannot include it in our domain:

(-4, ∞)

We also see that our y-values span from -2 to negative infinity. Since it is an open dot, we cannot include it in our range:

(-∞, -2)

Answer:

1: AAS, RQC 2: ASA, SRP

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) We are shown that two angles and one side are congruent in the order of AAS. Make sure you write the letters in terms of the corresponding angles. The angles and sides are congruent because the problem labels it for us. For example, B,A,C=R,Q,S. Answers: AAS, RQC.

(2) We are shown that two angles and one side are congruent in the order of ASA. Make sure you write the letters in terms of the corresponding angles again. For example, P,Q,R=P,S,R. The angles are congruent because the problem labels it for us. Side PR is congruent to side PR by reflexive property. Answers: ASA, SRP.

I hope this helped :) Good luck

Find the equivalent expression of 3+2(2p+4t)
NISA [10]

Remember to follow PEMDAS, and to only combine terms with like variables.

First, distribute the 2 to all terms within the parenthesis:

2(2p + 4t) = 2(2p) + 2(4t) = 4p + 8t

3 + 4p + 8t, or (D), is your answer choice, for it cannot be simplified anymore.
