at a maximum speed, an airolane travels 1680 miles against the windin 5 hours. Flying with the wind, the plane can travel the sa

me distance in 4 hours. Let x br the maximum speed of the plane and y be the speed of the wind. What is the speed of the plane with no wind?

Answer:

Plane Speed (x) = 378 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

d = r * t

Givens

With the wind

  • d = 1680 miles
  • t = 4 hours
  • r = x + y

Against the wind

  • d = 1680
  • t = 5 hours
  • r = x - y

Equation

The distances are the same, so you can solve for x in terms of y and then deal with the actual distance.

(x + y)*4 = (x - y)*5                   Remove the brackets on both sides

Solution

  • 4x + 4y = 5x - 5y                     Subtract 4x from both sides
  • 4y = -4x + 5x - 5y                    Combine
  • 4y = x - 5y                               Add 5y to both sides                      
  • 5y + 4y = x
  • x = 9y

Solution part 2

Now take one of the distance formulas and solve for x first then y.

  • (x - y)*5 = 1680               Substitute 9y for x
  • (9y - y)*5 = 1680             Subtract on the left
  • 8y * 5 = 1680                  Multiply on the left
  • 40y = 1680                     Divide by 40
  • y = 1680/40            
  • y = 42                             That's the speed of the wind.
  • (x - y)*5 = 1680               Substitute the wind speed for y
  • (x - 42)*5 = 1680             Divide both sides by 5
  • (x - 42) = 1680 / 5            Do the division on the right
  • (x - 42) = 336                   Add 42 to both sides.
  • x = 336 + 42
  • x = 378 mph                    Plane's speed

Find an equation of variation in which y varies directly as x and y=1 when x=0.5. Then find the value of y when x = 14.
FromTheMoon [43]

<u>Part 1</u>

The value of y is twice that of x, so the equation is y = 2x.

<u>Part 2</u>

Substituting in x = 14, we get y = 2(14) = 28.
