Answer:

490mph and 510mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph and x+20 mph be the speeds of the planes. The rate at which their distance from each other increases will be the sum of their speeds which is 2x+20 mph.

Their distance from each other after three hours is ( 1.5 hours)*(2x+20 mph) = 3x+30 miles. We are given that this is 1500 miles so we can solve for x.

3x+30 = 1500

3x = 1500 - 30

3x = 1470

x = 1470/3

x = 490mph

For the second jet :

x +20 = 490+20

x = 510

Thus the speeds of the two planes are 490 mph and 510mph.

What is the equation of a line, in general form, that passes though points (-1,2) and (5,2)?
Tom [10]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of the line. first calculate the slope using the slope formula.

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{2-2}{5--1}= \frac{0}{6} = 0

Since the slope of this line is 0, it is horizontal and has the form y=b where b is the y-coordinate. So y = 2 is the equation. In general form, it would be y-2 = 0
