Answer:
(10, 4, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
z = -3
y + z = 1
y - 3 = 1
y = 4
x + y - z = 17
x + 4 - -3 = 17
x + 4 + 3 = 17
x + 7 = 17
x = 10
(10, 4, -3)
Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
2 - 3(x + 4) = 8
=> 3(x + 4) = 2 - 8 = -6
=> x + 4 = -6/3 = -2
=> x = -2 - 4 = -6
Plane #1 speed: x mph
Plane #2 speed: (x+30) mph
time = time becomes
170 mi 185 mi
---------- = --------------
x x+30
Solving for x, the speed of the slower plane, we get
170x + 5100 = 185 x
5100
Then 15x = 5100, and x = ---------- (mi/hr) = 340 mph
15
The slower plane flies at 340 mph, and the faster one at 370 mph.
I would say read it well and then write down an equation or expression to represent the data so its easier for you to understand and/or solve.
