Answer:

The speed of wind is 30 miles/hour

Speed of plane in still air is 108 miles /hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance traveled by plane to Bangkok =  1794 miles

The trip there was with the wind. Time taken = 13 hours.

The trip back was into the wind. The trip back took 26 hours.

Let s = plane speed in still air

let w = speed of the wind

(s+w) = speed of plane with wind

(s-w) = speed of plane against wind

Distance = Speed * Time

When the trip was with the wind .

⇒1794 =(s+w)\times13

⇒\frac{1794}{13}=s+w

⇒138=s+w ---1

When The trip back was into the wind.

⇒1794 =(s-w)\times23  

⇒\frac{1794}{23}=s-w

⇒78=s-w ---2

Add 1 and 2

⇒s+w+s-w =138+78

⇒2s =216

⇒s=\frac{216}{2}

⇒s=108

To find w substitute the value of s in 1

⇒138=108+w

⇒138-108=w

⇒30=w

Thus the speed of wind is 30 miles/hour

Speed of plane in still air is 108 miles /hour

Write an equation or inequality to represent the scenario:
aniked [119]
<h3><u>The value of x is equal to 1.</u></h3><h3><u>6(x + 2) = 20x - 2</u></h3>

<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>

6x + 12 = 20x - 2

<em><u>Add 2 to both sides.</u></em>

6x + 14 = 20x

<em><u>Subtract 16x from both sides.</u></em>

14 = 14x

<em><u>Divide both sides by x.</u></em>

x = 1
