PART 1.
Going westward:
Distance: 2400 miles
Rate (this is speed): (450-wind_speed) mph
Time: distance / speed = 2400 / (450-wind speed)
Going eastward:
Distance: 2400 miles
Rate (this is speed): (450+wind_speed) mph
Time: distance / speed = 2400 / (450+wind speed)
PART 2
Formula for speed:
speed = distance / time
Now we solve this for time:
time = distance / speed
11h = 2400 / (450+-wind_speed)
+- sign is put because in one case wind increases speed of plane and in other case it decreases speed.
PART 3
To solve for wind_speed we start by rearranging formula so that we have wind_speed on left side:
(450+-wind_speed) = 2400 / 11
(450+-wind_speed) = 218mph
To fly this distance in 11h speed of plane must be 218mph.
The only way to get this solution is if we substract wind speed:
450-wind_speed = 218
wind_speed = 450-218 = 232mph
The secret number has a 7 in the ones place. The tens number is an odd number?
This number is 79. Hope I helped.
Im pretty certain it’s Y=-1/2x+2

Answer:</h2>
D. The Earth's surface would be much colder than it is.
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
This is because warm temperatures and high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide happen at about the same time. So if atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations double warm up by between 2 and 4.5 degrees Celsius. On the other hand, water vapor promotes, as the greatest contributor, to the Earth’s greenhouse effect. In this way, if carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor were not in the atmosphere, then it's obvious that the Earth's surface would be much colder than it is.
The equations are the same!
Let's get the first equation into proper y = mx + b form.
Subtract 6x from both sides to get -2y = - 6x + 16.
Then divide by -2 to get y = 3x - 8.
I hope I've helped!
