Two planes simultaneously left the Washington and LA and headed towards each other. The distance between the cities is 2700 mile

s. After they flied for 2 hours, they have not met each other yet, and distance between them was still 500 miles. What is the speed of each plane, if the one from LA was 100 mph faster?

Answer:

Speed of the plane from Washington: 500\ mph

Speed of the plane from LA: 600\ mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to remember that:

d=Vt

Where "d" is distance, "V" is speed and "t" is time.

Let be "w" the speed in mph of the plane from Washington and  "l" the speed in mph of the plane from LA.

We know that the distance between the cities is 2700 miles and after they flied for 2 hours, the distance between them was 500 miles. Then we can write the following equation:

2w + 2l + 500 = 2700   [Equation 1]

Since the speed of the plan from LA was 100 mph faster, we can write this equation:

l=w+100      [Equation 2]

The steps to solve this are:

1. Substitute the Equation 2 into the Equation 1 and solve for "w":

2w + 2(w+100) + 500 = 2700\\\\4w+200+500=2700\\\\w=\frac{2000}{4}\\\\w=500

2. Substitute the value of "w" into the Equation 2 in order to find "l":

l=500+100\\\\l=600

What is the equation of the line?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
First find the slope of the line. Slope is defined as the change in y over the change in x.

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Find two ordered pairs and plug them into the slope formula.

After looking at the graph, I found two points: (0, 1) and (4, 4)

\frac{4 - 1}{4 - 0} = \frac{3}{4}

Now find where the line intersects the y-axis.

After looking at the graph, I found out that the line intercepts the y-axis at
(0, 1)

Now build the slope-intercept equation.

General form: y = mx + b
Where m is the slope and b the y-intercept

So, the answer is y = 3/4m + 1

a line with a positive slope and a line with a negative slope are parallel. sometimes always or never?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

Never

Step-by-step explanation:

This statement is never true. Parallel lines have the exact same slope in every instance. This means that if one is negative and one is positive, then they can never be the same.

How do you factor this?<br> 2z^2-12z+10=0
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

This can't be factored right now! But if it is 2z^2+12z+10=0 than it will be factored like this:

2*(z+5)(z+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

2*(z^2+6z+5)=0

2*(z+5)(z+1)

A craft club makes 95 identical paperweights. They got $230.85 from those paperweights. If the profit the club makes is two time
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

the cost of making each paperweight = $0.81

Step-by-step explanation:

First let us calculate the selling price for each paperweight as follows:

total amount gotten = $230.85

number of paperweights = 95

∴ 95 paperweights = $230.85

∴ 1 paperweight = 230.85 ÷ 95 = $2.43

selling price of 1 paperweight = $2.43

Next, let the cost of making 1 paperweight be 'x'

selling price of paperweight = cost of making + profit gotten

The cost of making the paper weight (x) plus the profit made on the paper weight (2x) equals the selling price of each paper weight.

x + 2x = 2.43 (the profit the club makes is two times as much as the cost to make each paperweight)

∴ 3x = 2.43

x = 2.43 ÷ 3 = 0.81

Therefore, the cost of making each paperweight = $0.81
