Answer:

The speed of plane = 40 m/s

The speed of the wind = 300 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the plane = Y

And the speed of the wind = X

If the plane then travel 340 miles per hour with the wind, that means the plane and the wind are moving in the same direction. Therefore,

X + Y = 340 ..... ( 1 )

Also, 260 miles per hour against the wind. That is, the plane is moving opposite to the direction of the wind. Therefore,

X - Y = 260 ..... ( 2 )

Solve the two equations simultaneously by addition. That will eliminate Y

X + Y = 340

X - Y = 260

2X = 600

X = 600/2

X = 300 m/s

Substitutes X in equation (1)

300 + Y = 340

Make Y the subject of formula by collecting the like terms

Y = 340 - 300

Y = 40 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the plane is 40 m/s. While the speed of the wind is 300 m/s.

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Wouldn't it be 8?

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the two expressions.<br><br> −4x+3 and 2x−6<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.
BlackZzzverrR [31]
First, you set your problem up like this: 

-4x+3=2x-6

add 6 to both sides so it looks like this:

-4x+9=2x

add 4x to both sides so it looks like this:

9=6x

divide 6 from both sides so this is your answer:

1.5=x

Plug it in:

11-8=3

That's correct.

What is the volume of a hemisphere with a radius of 1.6 and height of 6.2?
qaws [65]
You can find the area of a hemisphere by using the following equation

V = (2/3) (pi)*r^3

so V = (2/3) (pi)*1.6^3

Which comes out as 8.5786423394 or 8.6
