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.

Draw the figure with their measurements and find their volume
babunello [35]

1) Volume = L × W × H = 8 × 3 × 5 = <u>120 m³</u>

2) Volume = s³ = 17³ = 17 × 17 × 17 = <u>4913 cm³</u>

3) Volume = s³ = 30³ = 30 × 30 × 30 = <u>27000 cm³</u>

4) Volume = L × W × H = 13 × 5 × 7 = <u>455 cm³</u>

5) Volume = s³ = 15³ = 15 × 15 × 15 = <u>3375 cm³</u>

<u />

Formula's applied:

(a) Volume of rectangle: Length × Width × Height

(b) Volume of Cube: (side)³

X^2+2x+9=0 please?!<br>​
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quadratic equation in standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0

We can solve for x using the quadratic formula

x² + 2x + 9 = 0 ← is in standard form

with a = 1, b = 2 and c = 9

x = ( - 2 ± \sqrt{2^2-(4(1)(9)}) / 2

  = ( - 2 ± \sqrt{4-36}) / 2

  = (- 2± \sqrt{-32}) / 2)

  = (- 2 ± \sqrt{16(2)(-1)}) / 2

  = ( - 2 ± 4i\sqrt{2}) / 2

  = \frac{-2}{2} ± \frac{4i\sqrt{2} }{2}

  = - 1 ± 2i\sqrt{2} → D
