Let be:Speed of the wind: WSpeed of the plane in still air: P
Against the wind the plane flew:Distance: d=175 milesTime: ta=1 hour 10 minutesta=1 hour (10 minutes)*(1 hour/60 minutes)ta=1 hour + 1/6 hourta=(6+1)/6 hourta=7/6 hourSpeed against the wind: Sa=d/taSa=(175 miles) / (7/6 hour)Sa=175*(6/7) miles/hourSa=1,050/7 miles per hourSa=150 mph
(1) P-W=Sa(1) P-W=150
The return trip only took 50 minutesDistance: d=175 milesTime: tr=50 minutestr=(50 minutes)*(1 hour/60 minutes)tr=5/6 hour
Speed retur trip: Sr=d/trSr=(175 miles) / (5/6 hour)Sr=175*(6/5) miles/hourSr=1,050/5 miles per hourSr=210 mph
(2) P+W=Sr(2) P+W=210
We have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknows:(1) P-W=150(2) P+W=210
Adding the equations:P-W+P+W=150+2102P=360Solving for P:2P/2=360/2P=180
Replacing P by 180 in equation (2):(2) P+W=210180+W=210
Solving for W:180+W-180=210-180W=30
Answers:The speed of the plane in still air was 180 mphThe speed of the wind was 30 mph

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

16 males and 9 females

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we can use a system of equations.

Let's start by naming the number of females x.

The number of males would then be y.

<u>Using these variables, we can set up 2 equations using info provided:</u>

A french class has a total of 25 students, -> x+y=25

The number of males is 7 more than the number of females -> x+7=y

Use substitution to solve.

<u>From the second equation:</u>

x+7=y

Subtract 7 from both sides.

x=y-7

Substitute that into the first equation.

x+y=25

y-7+y=25

Combine like terms.

2y-7=25

Add 7 to both sides.

2y=32

Divide both sides by 2.

y=16

Substitute y=16 into equation 2.

x+7=y

x+7=16

Subtract 7 from both sides.

x=9

Therefore, there are 16 males and 9 females in the french class.

What is the value of x? show work
Alona [7]
2x+38=180
2x=142 (or x+x=142 from which 2x=142)
x=71 

The unknown angles are each 71

You know this answer is logical as, since two sides are 21 it hints that we are looking at an equilateral triangle, which means two of its angles will be the same

love history [14]

Answer:

x = 16.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

tan theta = opp / adj

tan 71 = x /5.7

5.7 tan 71 = x

x=16.55400

Rounding to the nearest tenth

x = 16.6
