Answer:

  A  404 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

If we designate the points of the triangle A, B, and C for the locations of the western station, eastern station, and balloon, respectively, we have the following:

  ∠CAB = 90° - 41° = 49°

  ∠CBA = 90° + 21° = 111°

  ∠ACB = 41° -21° = 20°

side "c" (opposite ∠ACB) is 148 miles

The distance we're asked to find is AC = b, the longest side of the triangle. The law of sines tells us ...

  b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

  b = c·sin(B)/sin(C) = (148 mi)·sin(111°)/sin(20°) ≈ 403.98 mi ≈ 404 mi

Let X = number of minutes.

Plan A = 50 + 0.04X

Plan B = 60 + 0.02X


50 + 0.04X = 60 + 0.02X

Subtract 50 from each side:

0.04X = 10 + 0.02X

Subtract 0.02X from each side:

0.02X = 10

Divide both sides by 0.02

X = 10 / 0.02

X = 500

It will take 500 minutes.

olga_2 [115]

The system of inequalities is x+y≥250 and 3x+2y≤800.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

People to invite = at least 250

At least 250 means that the number can increase from 250.

Cups to be provided = only 800

It means the number cannot exceed 800.

Number of adults = A

Number of children = C

According to given statement;

x+y≥250

3x+2y≤800

The system of inequalities is x+y≥250 and 3x+2y≤800.
