Answer:

170 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the plane's speed.

If the car travels 110 mph slower than the plane, then the car's speed is x - 110 mph.

<u>Plane:</u>

Speed = x mph

Distance = 1,020 miles

Time = t hours

1,020=x\cdot t\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{1,020}{x}

<u>Car:</u>

Speed = x - 110 mph

Distance = 360 miles

Time = t hours

360=(x-110)t\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{360}{x-110}

A plane can fly 1020 miles in the same time as it takes a car to go 360 miles, so

\dfrac{1,020}{x}=\dfrac{360}{x-110}

Cross multiply:

1,020(x-110)=360x\\ \\102(x-110)=36x\\ \\102x-11,220=36x\\ \\102x-36x=11,220\\ \\66x=11,220\\ \\x=170

The larger of two numbers is 15 more than 3 times the smaller number. If the sum of the two numbers is 63 find the numbers
scoray [572]

Answer:

X = 51

Y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

2 numbers: (Larger) Number 1 is x and Number 2 is y

The equation is x + y = 63

  • x = 3y +15
  • y = y

New equation is:

  • 3y + 15 + y = 63

Combine like variables:

  • 4y + 15 = 63

Solve:

  • 4y + 15 - 15 = 63 - 15
  • 4y = 48

Divide 4 from each side:

  • <em><u>y = 12</u></em>

To find x fill in the variables from the 'x =' equation:

  • x = 3y + 15
  • x = 3( 12) + 15
  • <em><u>x = 51</u></em>

5x + 2y = 34<br> x= - 4y - 4
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first you need to plug in -4y-4 for x. So, 5(-4y-4) + 2y=34. Now, use the distributive property and now it will become -20y -20 + 2y = 34. Add like terms which would be -20y + 2y = -18y. Now the equation is -18y - 20 = 34. Now use inverse operations and add 20 to both sides. Then the equation will be -18y = 54. When you divide -18 on both sides, you get y=-3.

Hope this helps :)
