Answer: a) 490.91 mph

b) 540 mph

c) speed of the​ wind = 49.1 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that flight between Joppetown and Jawsburgh took 5 hours and 30 minutes.

Time t = 5.5hours

Distance = 2700 miles

Speed = distance/ time

Speed = 2700/5.5

Speed = 490.91 mph

The return flight took 5 hours of the same distance from = 2700 ​miles

Speed = 2700/5 = 540 mph

speed of the​ wind = the difference in the two speed

speed of the​ wind = 450 - 490.91

speed of the​ wind = 49.1 mph

Speed = 540m/s

Find the y? 3x + 6y = 12
kari74 [83]

Could you give Brainliest please???

Answer:

y = 2 - 1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are given the equation 3x + 6y = 12 and are ask to find y.

To find y you must isolate it first.

3x + 6y = 12

(Subtract 3x to isolate the y term)

6y = 12 - 3x

(Divide both sides by 6 to isolate the variable)

y = 2 - 3/6x

(Simplify)

y = 2 - 1/2x

And that is your answer since there is a second variable.
