Sure, here is how I broke it down. The bird is flying a constant X miles per hour with a wind speed of Y miles per hour. So, there are two equations that you use to solve. Here they are:

X+Y=12
X-Y=4

Now, you have to use substitution or elimination to solve (I will use elimination). To use elimination, you simply add both equations together to get:

2X=16
Solve for X by dividing by 2.

X=8. We already established that X is the speed of the bird. Plug X back into either of the equations to find the windspeed.

(8)+Y=12

Subtract 8 from both sides.

Y=4. We already established that Y is the windspeed.

So, the speed of the bird (X) is 8mph and the speed of the wind (Y) is 4mph.

Hope this helped!!

Is there a triangle that one side of length 4 inches , one side of length 2 inches and one side of length 1 in? Explain
rewona [7]

According to the Triangle inequality theorem, this does not work

For a triangle to be valid, the length of any two sides added together must by greater than the length than the third side.


In this example, we can see that the side with length 1 added to the side with length 2 is equal to 3inches.

3 inches is less that 4inches (the length of the 3rd side). So that triangle does not work.

--------------------------------------------------------

Answer

This triangle does not work, because the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is  <u>NOT</u>  greater than the length of the third side.
