Find the formula for the linear function: slope 3 and y-intercept 8

With a certain tail wind a jet aircraft arrives at its destination, 1,890 miles away, in 3 hours. Flying against the same wind,

Gelneren [198K]

<span>Find the wind speed and the plane's airspeed.
:
Let s = speed of the plane in still air
Let w = speed of the wind
then
(s-w) = plane speed against the wind
and
(s+w) = plane speed with the wind
:
Change 3 3/8 hrs to 3.375 hrs
:
The trips there and back are equal distance, (1890 mi) write two distance equations
dist = time * speed
:
3.375(s-w) = 1890
3.0(s + w) = 1890

:
It is convenient that we can simplify both these equations:
divide the 1st by 3.375
divide the 2nd by 3
resulting in two simple equations that can be used for elimination of w
s - w = 560
s + w = 630
----------------adding eliminates w, find s
2s = 1190
s =
s = 595 mph is the plane speed in still air
Find w
595 + w = 630
w = 630 - 595
w = 35 mph is the wind spee</span>

Divide y by x:

150/10 = 15

135/9 = 15

30 /2 = 15

They all equal 15

This means the constant of proportionality would be y = 15x

The answer is C.

Solve. 4x−y−2z=−8 −2x+4z=−4 x+2y=6 Enter your answer, in the form (x,y,z), in the boxes in simplest terms. x= y= z=

ladessa [460]

Answer:

(-2, 4, -2)

x=-2, y=4, z=-2.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the three equations:

$4x-y-2z=-8\\-2x+4z=-4\\x+2y=6$

And we want to find the value of each variable.

To solve this system, first look at it and consider what you should try to do.

So we can see that the second and third equations both have an x.

Therefore, we can isolate the variables for the second and third equation and then substitute them into the first equation to make the first equation all xs.

Therefore, let's first isolate the variable in the second and third equation.

Second Equation:

$-2x+4z=-4$

First, divide everything by -2 to simplify things:

$x-2z=2$

Subtract x from both sides. The xs on the left cancel:

$(x-2z)-x=2-x\\-2z=2-x$

Now, divide everything by -2 to isolate the z:

$z=-\frac{2-x}{2}$

So we've isolated the z variable. Now, do the same to the y variable in the third equation:

$x+2y=6$

Subtract x from both sides:

$2y=6-x$

Divide both sides by 2:

$y=\frac{6-x}{2}$

Now that we've isolated the y and z variables, plug them back into the first equation. Therefore:

$4x-y-2z=-8\\4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})-2(-\frac{2-x}{2})=-8$

Distribute the third term. The -2s cancel out:

$4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})+(2-x)=-8$

Since there is still a fraction, multiply everything by 2 to remove it:

$2(4x-(\frac{6-x}{2})+(2-x))=2(-8)$

Distribute:

$8x-(6-x)+2(2-x)=-16\\8x-6+x+4-2x=-16$

Combine like terms:

$8x+x-2x-6+4=-16\\7x-2=-16$

Add 2 to both sides:

$7x=-14$

Divide both sides by 7:

$(7x)/7=(-14)/7\\x=-2$

Therefore, x is -2.

Now, plug this back into the second and third simplified equations to get the other values.

Second equation:

$z=-\frac{2-x}{2}\\ z=-\frac{2-(-2)}{2}\\z=-\frac{4}{2}\\z=-2$

Third equation:

$y=\frac{6-x}{2}\\y=\frac{6-(-2)}{2}\\y=\frac{8}{2}\\y=4$

Therefore, the solution is (-2, 4, -2)

Emerson earns money from walking dogs and answering surveys. He earns $5 a week for each dog he walks and $0.10 for each survey

maria [59]

Part A: X=(35-(100*0.10))/5 35= 5X+(100*0.10)
Where X is the number of dogs he walked.

Part B: To solve the equation just simplify it by using inverse operations. It should give you 5 dogs walked. The algebraic property justifying this is inverse operations.

Part C: Emerson walked 5 dogs last week.

Determine the points of intersection of the given functions. y = –x2 + 3x + 20 y = –2x + 15 Describe the features of the graphin

Tanzania [10]

After you type in your equations and hit graph you notice that, if you are in the standard window, your parabola is cut off so you have to choose your "window" button to change the viewing window to see the whole graph. Then you would use your 2nd button and "trace" and "intersect" to find the points of intersection of the 2 graphs. The first point is at (-.90901, 16.81812) and the second point is at (5.9090909, 3.1818182). Graphing calculators are quite amazing!
