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.

Evaluate f(x) = 2|x – 5| for f(–5) and f(0).
Elanso [62]

Answer:

f(–5) = 20, f(0) = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

f(-5):

f(-5) = 2|-5 -5|

f(-5) = 2|-10|

f(-5) = 2(10)

f(-5) = 20

f(0):

f(0) = 2|0 - 5|

f(0) = 2|-5|

f(0) = 2(5)

f(0) = 10

Find the area of the rectangle below by multiplying its length and width.
wariber [46]

Hello!

When multiply binomials together, we should use the FOIL method.

The FOIL method is an acronym for First, Outer, Inner, and Last.

First, let's set up the expression.

(7x - 1)(3x - 2)

Now, we can multiply in accordance with the FOIL method.

First: 7x · 3x = 21x²

Outer: 7x · -2 = -14x

Inner: -1 · 3x = -3x

Last: -1 · -2 = 2

Now, we simplify the inner terms.

21x² - 14x - 3x + 2

21x² - 17x + 2

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 21x² - 17x + 2.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 + (2/5 + 3/5)

solve for the bracket first

1/5 +(2+3/5)

1/5 + (5/5)

1/5 + 1

1+1*5/5

6/5

another method

1/5 + (2/5 +3/5)

open brackets)

1/5 + 2/5 + 3/5

since their denominator are same u can add their numerator

1+2+3/5

6/5
