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.

Cody started a fire in a field. The fire was expanding outward in all directions forming a larger and larger circle. The radius
Dimas [21]

Answer:

<h2> 55.10min </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is on the mensuration of flat shapes.

given that the initial radius before Cody alerted the fire department is

10 ft

Then we can calculate the area of the fire as

Area= πr^2

Area=3.142*(10)^2

Area=3.142*100

Area=314.2ft^2

Also, given that the area of the circular fire has grown to 45401 square feet

let us solve for the radius first, then we can calculate the time taken since the radius was increasing by 2 ft/min

let the radius of the large fire be R

45401=πR^2

R^2=45401/3.142

R^2=14449.714

square both sides we have

R=√14449.714

R=120.2ft

The difference between the radius of the initial fire and the large fire is

R-r=120.2-10

    =110.2ft

Hence the time taken can be calculated as

time= 110.2/2

time=55.10min

Solve 5n – 7p + 3n = 25p for n.
saul85 [17]

5n – 7p + 3n = 25p

Combine like terms

8n - 7p = 25p

Add (7p) to both sides

8n - 7p + 7p = 25p + 7p

Simplifying

8n = 32p

Divide both sides by 8

8n / 8 = 32p / 8

Simplifying

n = 4p
