720 mi. in 4.5 hrs is 160 mph.
720 mi. in 6 hrs is 120 mph.

Now flying with a tailwind the wind speed is added to the airspeed. Flying with a headwind it's subtracted from airspeed.

So find the difference between 120 and 160, that's 40, and divide that in half, and that's your wind speed, 20 mph. So the airspeed of the airplane would be 140 mph.

Answer:

Solution given:

for second

we have

f(x)=x²-9x-36

let

y=x²-9x-36

when

x=0

y=-36

when

y=0

0=x²-9x-36

x²-12x+3x-36=0

x(x-12)+3(x-12)=0

(x-12)(x+3)=0

either

x=12

x=-3

So,

x and y intercepts are (-3,0)(12,0) and 0,-36)

Got a fairly simple looking system of equations, 2k+4y=20, and 3x+6y=30 Don't understand how to prove what values of k provide -
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

2kx+4y=20 ⇒ kx+2y=10

3x+6y=30 ⇒ x+2y= 10

k is the coefficient of x, so it is the slope of the line

  • when k=1, both equations will be same, then there are many solutions
  • when k=0 there is one solution
  • when k is anything different, then the lines will be parallel, so no solutions

You purchase 26 “parking hours” that you can use over the next month to park your food truck at the fair. Weekday hours costs $2
Oksanka [162]

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

weekday hours x*2

weekend hours y*10

x+y=26

2x+10y=220

----------------------

x=26-y

2(26-y)+10y=220

52-2y+10y=220

8y=220-52

8y=168

y=168/8

y=21

x=26-21=5

x=5

A telescope is discounted 30%. Sales price is $126. Find the original price.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

180 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

if it was discounted by 30 percent, that means 126 is 70 percent of the orin=inal price. If you divide 126 by 70, you get 1.8 is the money worth 1 percent. Multiply 1.8 by 100 to get the original price, and you end up with 180 dollars.
