Answer:

rate of the wind: 40 mph

The expression that represents the time it takes the plane to travel the 640 miles with the wind is:  640/(120 + w )

Step-by-step explanation:

The plane fly at 120 mph. Let's call w, the rate of the wind.

Against the wind the speed of plane will be = 120 - w

With the wind the speed of plane will be = 120 + w

Speed is defined as: speed = distance/time

Time required to travel 320 miles against the wind:

time =  320/(120 - w )

Time required to travel 640 miles with the wind:

time =  640/(120 + w )

Both times are equal, then:

320/(120 - w ) = 640/(120 + w )

(320/640)*(120 + w ) = 120 - w

60 + 0.5*w = 120 - w

1.5*w = 60

w = 60/1.5 = 40 mph

so uh i have a question about STEAM the app ik this is a math website but uh my question is lets say your playing roblox or mine
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, steam isn't a math website.

On discord, it doesn't show steam specifically, but if you're playing a game THROUGH steam then yes, it will show.

To hide this, go to options -> game activity -> and disable "Display currently running game as a status message" on discord.

If you want to hide your status on steam, just put your status to invisible :)

If DF = 9x -39 find EF
Klio2033 [76]

|DF| = |DE| + |EF|

|DF| = 9x -36

|DE| = 47

|EF| = 3x+10

Substitute:

9x - 39 = 47 + 3x + 10

9x - 39 = 3x + 57     |+39

9x = 3x + 96    |-3x

6x = 96    |:6

x = 16

Put the value of x to the equation |EF| = 3x + 10

|EF| = (3)(16) + 10 = 48 + 10 = 58

Answer: |EF| = 58
