Answer:

  160 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between time, speed, and distance is ...

  time = distance/speed

__

If p represents the plane's speed, then the speed with the wind is p+20 and the time to go 405 miles is ...

  405/(p+20)

The speed against the wind is p-20, and the time to go 315 miles is ...

  315/(p-20)

These two times are equal, so we have ...

  405/(p+20) = 315/(p-20)

  405(p-20) = 315(p+20) . . . . . . cross multiply

  90p = 6300 +8100 = 14400 . . . . add 8100 -315p

  p = 14400/90 = 160

The speed of the plane in still air is 160 mph.

What is-3/7x-2 in standard form
Eddi Din [679]
If you are given y = (-3/7)x - 2 and you want it in the form Ax+By = C, then...

y = (-3/7)x-2
7*y = 7*( (-3/7)x-2) ... multiply both sides by 7
7y = -3x-14 ... distribute and multiply
7y+3x = -3x-14+3x ... add 3x to both sides
3x+7y = -14

The standard form equation is 3x+7y = -14

For the triangles to be congruent by hl, what must be the value of x? 8 9 17 34
lora16 [44]

Using equations we know that the value of x needs to be (E) 4 to make HL congruent to AC.

<h3>What are equations?</h3>

A mathematical equation is a formula that uses the equals sign to represent the equality of two expressions.

The point-slope form, standard form, and slope-intercept form are the three main types of linear equations.

So, HL is a hypotenuse that will be congruent to the hypotenuse AC.

We know that HL is 3x + 3.

Ac is 15.

Then the equation will be:

3x + 3 = 15

Now, solve the equation to get x as follows:

3x + 3 = 15

3x = 15 - 3

3x = 12

x = 12/3

x = 4

Therefore, the value of x needs to be (E) 4 to make HL congruent to AC.

A radio station has a broadcast area in the shape of a circle with equation x^2+y^2=5 625
Mars2501 [29]
Let us assume that the center of the circle is (0,0)

(x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²
x² + y² = 5,625

r² = 5,625
r = √5,625
r = 75

Area of a circle = π * r²
A = 3.14 * (75mi)²
A = 3.14 * 5,625 mi²
A = 17,662.50 mi²
